Le Marchesine Franciacorta Esus Brut Millesimato 2016

Le Marchesine Franciacorta Esus Brut Millesimato 2016 is a refined vintage sparkling wine from Lombardy, crafted entirely from Chardonnay and shaped by the elegance of classic-method Franciacorta. It stands out for its balance of precision, freshness, and creamy depth, offering a stylish expression of one of Italy’s most celebrated sparkling wine regions.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright straw-yellow color with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is delicate and layered, with notes of white flowers, citrus, green apple, brioche, and a subtle mineral edge. On the palate, it is fresh and focused, combining crisp acidity with a supple, creamy texture. Flavors of lemon peel, pear, toasted bread, and a faint almond note lead to a clean, persistent finish. As a vintage Franciacorta, it has good aging potential and can develop greater complexity over the next several years.

Production
Produced in Franciacorta, Lombardy, where the cool climate and mineral-rich soils help preserve freshness and aromatic finesse, this wine is made from Chardonnay grapes selected for quality and balance. The 2016 vintage was vinified using the traditional method, with the second fermentation taking place in bottle and extended lees aging contributing to its texture and depth.

Food & Serving
