The Ca' del Bosco 2014 Franciacorta Riserva Annamaria Clementi Dosage Zéro (a blend of 76% Chardonnay, 15% Pinto Nero and 9% Pinot Bianco) ferments in small oak casks for six months and matures on the lees for eight long years. The bouquet is immediately beautiful with baked apple, brioche, pastry cream and something a little spicy, like a pinch of saffron, that gives extra pop. It shows a mid-weight mouthfeel with a whole other set of almond and bitter lemon flavors. This elegant Franciacorta manages a careful dance between nose and palate.
