Franciacorta Millesimato Blanc de Blancs Brut 2017, Rizzini
A classic, monumental method known for precision and stylistic integrity. The olfactory profile alternates crisp citrus with notes of baked goods and chalky minerality of extreme refinement. On the palate, it is dense, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the strength of the Chardonnay and the finesse of the perlage. A demonstration of style that celebrates the pure craftsmanship of Franciacorta.
Franciacorta Millesimato Blanc de Blancs Brut 2017, Rizzini
The Franciacorta Millesimato Blanc de Blancs Brut 2017 from Rizzini is an expression of extreme artisanal precision, born from the vineyards of Cazzago San Martino. Rizzini is known for his philosophy of long aging and a limited production that focuses entirely on verticality. The 2017 vintage, characterized by low yields, has concentrated a steel-like minerality and remarkable aromatic complexity in the sip. On the nose, it is a concert of rare elegance: clear notes of Sorrento lemon, wildflowers, and green apple mingle with deep hints of fresh yeast, chalk dust, and a mineral trail reminiscent of flint. On the palate, it is sumptuous in its tension; the entry is direct, dominated by a dense yet lively body that unfolds into a savory, very long finish with an endless aromatic persistence, marked by saline and citrus recalls.
