Tasting notes:
Annamaria Clementi 2016 reveals a luminous straw-gold color with exceptionally fine and persistent perlage thanks to its 8 years of aging on the lees.
The nose opens with remarkable complexity with notes of brioche, toasted almonds and candied citrus peel with delicate floral notes, honeycomb and subtle mineral undertones.
As time goes by and it opens up layers of white peach, dried apricot and chamomile emerge, with a whisper of smoke and chalk.
To the palate its creamy, like a mousse, revealing flavors of baked apple, lemon zest and hazelnut. Great saline minerality and vibrant acidity. The finish is long and clean.
This cuvée is a blend of pinot noir, Chardonnay and pinot bianco.
Thanks to its long lees aging and no-dosage purity it has both richness and vibrant acidity perfect for cutting through the risotto’s buttery texture while matching also its depth.

Proper risotto 🤌🤌🤌
Hell, yeah—love some Franciacorta. The vintage stuff from Ca’ del Bosco is always solid.
Hubby is making this dish tonight. We don’t have Franciacorta handy, but we might have some dry Lambrusco. May give it a try.
Bon appetit!
