Ricci Curbastro has created a truly exceptional bubbly with the 2015 Extra Brut. Made in a very dry style (2 grams per liter of residual sugar), the 2015 Ricci Curbastro Extra Brut is pure, lively and refreshing. It is a blend of 50% Pinot Nero and 50% Chardonnay wines from vineyards whose climate is tempered by the deep waters of the Lago d’Iseo. This exquisitely balanced sparkling wine is pure, complex, exciting and delicious! The bouquet shows fresh citrus and green apple fruits enhanced by hints of flowers, cream and subtle yeastiness. The flavors resonate with juicy lime, lemon and green apple fruits enhanced by the subtle floral and yeasty components. Even with its minimal residual sugar, the Ricci Curbastro Extra Brut has a deliciously creamy texture that allows the pure flavors to linger well at the finish.
