Franciacorta Saten, Italy 2005
A real hidden gem of a sparkling wine from Lombardy in Italy. Made with 100% Chardonnay grapes it has softer, riper fruit than most Champagne but resembles it in style. Beautifully elegant and complex with a delicious creamy texture. There's peachy fruit and subtle mineral qualities as well as a buttery brioche character and hints of almond and honey. A long and sophisticated taste.
