Tesco, Finest, Franciacorta, Lombardy, Italy

Franciacorta is gaining more and more recognition as a region producing serious fizz. This example, produced by Castel Faglia for Tesco, has a doughy, brioche and lemon nose. The mousse has a soft texture, and is followed by a green apple character that develops some cream and nuttiness on the finish. Delightful!
