New Wine Launch Content for Centinari Riserva 2016

In August, Franciacorta gave further proof of its exceptional vocation for viticulture

After Ferragosto, with the harvest now close, the season brought the vines a second great gift: strong day-night temperature swings.
At night the berry sealed in all the aromas synthesised during the day.

Already in the vineyard, nature enriched Testanera with extraordinary aromas and fragrances.
The harvest, strictly by hand in small crates, preserved the grapes from early, uncontrolled fermentation caused by the weight of the must.

At the end of its slow yet majestic journey, Testanera arrived at the tasting ready to capture the imagination

Because so many sensations can be perceived, all different from one another: we chase one, we uncover a hundred others. We try to separate them and they multiply.

There are white flowers, mango, ripe pineapple: a wealth of notes, typical of the Chardonnay grape, which evolves into fresh and ripe fruit, tropical too.
Then there is dried fruit, typical of long-aged Chardonnays.
But there is much more: scents and aromas chase each other, change over the course of the tasting, and are hard to separate or put a name to.
