Timeless Approach Branchini 1858 Brut

Tasting notes

100% Albana, after the draft it develops for 36 months on the yeasts and the remuage is performed strictly by hand.

Visual assessment: brilliant straw yellow embellished with a fine and consistent perlage.

Olfactory assessment: the nose is marked by fragile fragrances of apple and herbaceous embroidery, followed by white flowers, chamomile and routes that cause brioche.

Olfactory trial run: freshness and taste draw a direct and sinuous taste course, which gradually catches the taste buds, closing with a nuanced bitter path.

Pairing: outstanding with appetisers and fish main dishes.

For the inescapable Easter dove, nevertheless, absolutely nothing beats the D’Or Luce Albana di Romagna Docg Passito by Branchini 1858. This white wine, gotten from dried grapes and subjected to a long fermentation in brand-new barriques, releases extreme and fruity fragrances on the nose of apricot jam, chamomile, sweet spices and dried flowers, while on the taste buds the sweet taste is stabilized by an enjoyable freshness. It is an ideal white wine to couple with dry pastries and blue cheeses.
