Barone Pizzini Franciacorta Riserva Bagnadore 2011 Bottle:1 in the Napa Valley—wine isBarone Pizzini's Franciacorta Riserva Bagnadore sparkling wine has a light straw yellow color with a fine and persistent perlage; on the nose it expresses very pleasant sensations of toasted bread, yeast and notes of citrus and Mediterranean herbs. The sip is fresh, deep, elegant, dynamic and of great harmony. Perfect as an accompaniment to light, vegetarian, fish and white meat dishes.
