Barone Pizzini 2009 Bagnadore Metodo Classico Riserva Sparkling (Franciacorta)

Country: Italy / Bagnadore Metodo Classico Riserva
Variety: Sparkling Blend Lombardy
Winery: Barone Pizzini / Franciacorta

A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Nero, this opens with subtle aromas of toasted bread crust, mature pear and a note of wild herb. The elegant palate—which is made without dosage—offers ripe Golden Delicious apple, sour lemon drop and hazelnut alongside a refined perlage.
