| FRANCIACORTA CRU PERDU MILLESIMATO BRUT SPARKLING 2019 DOCG |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
CASTELLO BONOMI |
NEW in Vintages. Bright medium straw colour. Quite intense, fairly attractive, gently complex, somewhat minerally, lemon-apple nose with some leesy notes on the youthful nose. Very dry, medium bodied, minerally, youthful, bright, somewhat lightish, lemony-apple flavours with a lingering, fairly high acid, gently leesy, lifted, crisp, effervescence finish. This well-made recently-disgorged (not done in 2023 but on November 19, 2024) is a blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir with 12.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar. Quite ready-to-drink, it is much better than most of the Franciacortas tasted recently which, unfortunately for my taste, tend to be overpriced.

| TASTING NOTE: Restrained white stone fruits, lemons and a touch of bay leaf on the nose. The palate is lean, with light body, zesty acidity and a tight, tense, superpolished finish focused on citrus pulp and sour white peaches. Full of vibrancy. From organically grown grapes. Disgorged November 2023. Drinkable now but best after one to two years. Score - 95 (jamessuckling.com, May 30, 2024) |
