Franciacorta DOCG Riserva QdE appears a shimmering straw yellow, with golden highlights from the sun infusing its vineyards. Its foamy mousse, dense but delicate, is impressively lengthy, and a rich, spacious bouquet releases intoxicating fragrances of yeast, fresh bread crust, and dried nuts. On the palate it is totally seductive, vivaciously elegant, and superbly balanced.
