The Le Marchesine 2014 Franciacorta Brut Millesimato Secolo Novo is 100% Chardonnay aged on the lees for 54 months. Off the bat, you get delicately toasted notes with almond pastry, baked bread and rounder fruit notes of nectarine and soft peach. This is a medium-weight sparkler that sticks to the palate nicely, thanks to the quality of the fruit.
