Franciacorta Brut 'Premiere Dame' Biondelli 2015

The Franciacorta Riserva ‘Première Dame’ by Biondelli is the flagship wine of the winery, a tribute to the first woman of the family. As per the winery's style, the focus is on elevating Chardonnay, of which this cuvée is entirely composed. The grapes are harvested from a single plot, the Nave vineyard. After fermentation with indigenous yeasts, it rests for five years on the lees without any dosage, during which it acquires its characteristic depth. On the nose, it is deep, with a floral side, tones of ripe fruit and dried fruit, and hints of pastry. On the palate, it is both tonic and creamy, with lively freshness and pronounced sapidity, with a persistence of great breath. Ideal with seared scallops or lemon risotto
