Pale gold with a delicate mousse. Aromas of lemon peel, green apple skin, toasted hazelnut, and crushed oyster shells. On the palate, it’s razor-sharp and elegant, revealing layers of citrus blossom, chamomile, and golden pear over a chalky mineral core. Extended lees aging brings a whisper of brioche and almond cream. The finish is bone-dry and taut, marked by saline lift and laser precision. Drink now–2032. We’ve long been huge fans of Franciacorta, Italy’s answer to Champagne. And just in case you wondered where exactly Franciacorta shines, it's in the skilled hands of producers like Barone Pizzini, who deliver a wine with no expense spared treatment in the cellar, aging for six years in the bottle before release. Now, nearly a decade after harvest, this bone-dry bubbly is drinking beautifully.
