This Wine: Sparkling white wine made in the Champagne / Franciacorta style. Incredibly complex with concentrated notes citrus, minerals, almond, toast and cream, this is a bottle that can stand up to considerably rich plates of food. Will wow Champagne lovers for sure and bound to keep improving with age. 

Notes on the Winemaker: Matia Corbelli produces sparkling wines on the Eastern border of the Franciacorta region near the Colline di Brescia. The land here has not been overworked so the wines from this part of Italy show a profound depth and purity. He does not adhere to the DOCG rules and instead likes to go in his own direction which gives his cuvées an authentic character that stand out from the crowd.
