If you need to cool down from the excitement of the new cred pass, very few things hit that fresh spot quite as well as some bubbles.
But we often get into the habit of sticking to the same old tried and tested ones we have every year. Well, if you are craving something different, why not try Franciacorta.
This Franciacorta shown here by @corteaurafranciacorta is their brut sparkling wine made from 90% Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Produced in the same way as Champagne, normally called the traditional method, or metodo tradizionale in Italy. This is a wine with loads of freshness and character.
On the nose and palate it shows up with 馃崑 lemon, 馃崗 green apple, 馃崷 creaminess, and even some subtle notes of fresh 馃崬 bread.
When served cold, around 6 degrees, this wine absolutely sings like a cantante lirico!
What's more, it's nearly always much cheaper than champagne, and rivals the best French Cremants in taste and price too. A good lil money saver.
