2007 Franciacorta Cuvee Annamaria Clementi Riserva

Here's proof that Italian wine is more varied and versatile than any other wine nation in the world. The 2007 Franciacorta Cuvée Annamaria Clementi Extra Brut Riserva is a stunning achievement that offers sophistication, complexity and endurance. The bouquet delivers a choreographed dance of stone fruit, Golden Delicious apple, honey, baked bread, light spice and toasted almond. In the mouth, the wine is generous and rich with bright effervescence that keeps the palate refreshed and satisfied. This is indeed a beautiful creation. The blend is 55% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Bianco and 20% Pinot Nero. It is fermented in small oak barrel.
