Camilucci Ammonites Brut, Franciacorta DOCG, Italy NV

Details

The NV Ammonites wafts up with exotic florals, white smoke and hints of dried apricots. This traverses both savory and sweet, with a round feel on the palate, as ripe orchard fruits are nicely contrasted by gingery spice. It leaves a coating of salty minerals and a twang of sour lime to mingle through the juicy finale. Its hard to stop at one glass when tasting this nicely balanced and characterful Franciacorta.
