Here is a slightly more full-bodied expression from a warm vintage in Northern Italy made with 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Bianco. The Ca' del Bosco 2012 Franciacorta Vintage Collection Satèn offers spicy aromas of dried ginger and white licorice at the back of generous aromas of apricot and candied orange peel. The wine is layered and thick with foamy perlage that is backed by rich textural consistency. This sparkling wine wraps smoothly over the palate and leaves a lasting impression thanks to its more exuberant personality.
