91 - FRANCIACORTA BRUT ROSE MILLESIMATO DOCG 2013

The 2013 Franciacorta Millesimato Brut Rosé (disgorged in 2018) is one of those pink sparkling wines that looks so beautiful when poured into the glass. The wine's luminous appearance is magnified by the shiny gleam of its soft perlage. This is a 50/50 blend of Pinot Nero and Chardonnay aged on the lees for 42 months. That's just enough yeast contact to build the wine's texture and those lasting flavors of stone fruit, wild berry and baked bread. Some 40,000 bottles were made.

93 - FC SECOLO NOVO RISERVA DOCG 2009

Enticing scents of yellow stone fruit, acacia and brioche show this wine's Chardonnay pedigree. A refined beading and tangy acidity lend elegance and balance to flavors of creamy yellow pear, apple and lemon. A hint of fennel graces the finish.

90 - FRANCIACORTA BRUT DOCG NV

Crisp and refreshing, this opens with enticing scents of white spring blossom, white stone fruit and a whiff of dried aromatic herb. The bright palate delivers creamy golden apple and juicy nectarine alongside tangy acidity and a lively mousse. A ginger note backs up the finish.
