Franciacorta ‘Ammonites’ Dosage Zero Brut |
Understated yet remarkably pretty, the NV Franciacorta Ammonites Zero Dosage blossoms slowly with a blend of wildflowers, stone dust and sweet spice complementing nuances of peach sorbet. Seriously salty and chiseled in feel, this levels out with soft textures and ripe orchard fruit notes elevated by a core of juicy acidity. It finishes fresh and with medium length, leaving a saline tinge and a refreshing hint of mint that lingers on. (Lot# 04324) |

Franciacorta “Anthologie Blanc” Dosage Zero |
Understated and coy in the best possible way, the 2020 Franciacorta Anthologie Noir Dosaggio Zero makes the taster work for its bouquet of lime sorbet, young peaches, minty leaves and sweet smoke. This is a total pleasure, silken yet refined, with juicy acidity and hints of candied citrus that enliven its ripe orchard fruit notes. A saline mineral tinge lingers as the 2020 finishes fresh, leaving a twang of sour citrus on the palate. (Lot# 13424) |

Listan Blanco |
Refined, poised expression of Listán Blanco, with a Burgundian elegance but also extraordinary sense of place. Inviting nose of flint, linden, chamomile and pear. The palate follows with a powdery softness, supported by a fine, mineral acidity. The core of white peach, pear and yellow apple is drenched in white grapefruit juice and framed by fleshy blanched almonds and hay. Great potential to develop in bottle. |
