The Villa Crespia winery in Italy is dedicated to sustainably producing the Franciacorta style of sparkling wine, using grapes grown in its organic vineyards in the DOCG-protected region. This expression is made with chardonnay grapes, fermented in stainless steel tanks, and rested for 7-8 months, followed by refermentation and maturation in the bottle for a further 36 months. An elegant effervescence and creamy, fruity profile will make this a splendid option to accompany aperitifs and seafood salads.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Orchard fruits lead with soft pear, green apple, and underripe plum, backed up by fresh brioche and notes of Rich Tea biscuits. A generous helping of crisp lemon and sweeter, candied orange lift things throughout.
