La Valle `Naturalis` Franciacorta Extra Brut DOCG 2009

£25.70
Tasting Note: 

La Valle 'Naturalis', the pure and most “natural” since it is enriched with only a minimal dose of sugar in the final stage of its creation. This Extra Brut (extra dry) is a harmonious blend of meticulously selected Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and Pinot Nero grapes. A nose full of yeasty, biscuit-y and apple notes with ripe apple fruit on the palate with a nice mineral and citrus character through to the finish. Pure and fresh, this is a wine of real elegance.
