Franciacorta Brut 25, Fratelli Berlucchi

• 90 I.W.R. (Italian Wine Review)
• This is an intentionally young Franciacorta; the 25 is a reference to the 25 months that must pass between harvest and release
• The wine is pale greenish gold with lively greenish reflections and fine perlage
• The bouquet is fairly rich with gunflint minerality mingled with herbal accents and some toasted breadcrumbs
• On the palate it's again fresh, with clean slightly mineral fruit laced with savory accents and supported by a very smooth sparkle whose fineness makes for a creamy feeling, and it flows into a clean savory finish
• Quite pleasant and eminently approachable, in the manner of a Saten but with greater depth
