Bellavista Saten Brut Franciacorta DOCG

$129.99

Deep, shiny yellow color, with a rich and creamy mousse, long and lingering perlage. Broad and kaleidoscopic aromas, changing from ripe yellow fruit to citrus notes, interwoven with white flowers and creamy nuances on a backdrop of dried fruit and candied fruit. The palate is consistent with the nose: dense, creamy, plush and generous, very long in the mouthfeel and aromas. The role of acidity is decisive for its sustaining and rallying effect, yielding freshness and age-worthiness to the wine
