Corte Aura Franciacorta Saten Millesimato 2013

Bouquet

The nose opens with intense notes of dried fruit, bread crust and dried flower bouquet in harmony with the evolving notes dictated by the period on leaven.

Flavour

On the palate you can clearly feel the tropical hues, the toasted and the dried fruit notes typical of the complex Chardonnay. The nasal scents return and remain pleasantly long, almost round in the mouth. The aftertaste is constantly diversity and finesse, with a strong sugar content (6.5 grams per liter) but well blended with acidity.

Pairing

Beautiful Franciacorta for refined aperitifs, perfect with white fish sauce pastas, enveloping with char and whitefish, ideal with lightly spicy white meat.
