Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Pale lemon in color with a golden hue.

Fruity nose with flowers, apples, minerals and light spices.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity and large bubbles.

Dry on the palate with a touch of RS.

Showing green and red apples, light yeast, lemons, minerals, spices, herbs and white pepper.

Medium finish with limes and herbs.

This 5 year old Sparkling wine from Northern Italy is nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. A good sipping wine.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 45 minutes of airtime.

Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly.

100% Chardonnay grapes were aged for 36 months on the lees.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

21 year old Satèn Franciacorta tasted at the winery. Brioche and honey on the nose with a palate that is more youthful than you might expect. Texture is faintly waxy. What a treat.

Lives up to the Saten description, smooth and a lighter sparkle. Crisp apple, barely ripe pear, and creamy on the palate. @ Massimo Camia

This wine excels for the complex, layered build. The mastery shows in controlling sugary and yeasty notes and delivering a full, round experience to the nose and the palat.
Good perlage, attractive color, will not disappoint the connoisseur and will attract the less expert drinkers.
