Tasting notes

Lightly brownish colour. Still a lot of fine bubbles. Nose shows hints of oxidized fruit and some caramel and yeast. Picks up more notes with time and shows nice florality and som minerals. Not very unlike a top friulian white. The oxidation unfortunately a little too present. Full-bodied in the mouth. Light mousse. A little sweet fruit from the oxidative notes, with hints of yeast and a touch flowers and minerals. Fine structure. Fine acids and length. Some dark toast in the finish.
Interesting spumante of certainly great class. A little over the hill now, but still shows structure and interest in the flavours.
