Radicale 2018 Spumante Brut

(standard bottle version) The wine has a straw color, with light golden reflections. The nose is fragrant, complex and atypical, but harmonious and pleasant. The first nose is spicy, floral and herbaceous – it expresses the dominant aroma of saffron, complemented by notes of nutmeg and cumin, as well as aromas of various herbs and flowers (dried rose, dried white flowers, dry tea, infusion of linden and chamomile). Then, we find fruity notes of dried lemon, green apple, dried green apple, dried orange, fresh bitter orange and grapefruit. After aeration, we also find a distinguished and precise minerality (limestone, saline) and integrated tertiary notes (mushrooms, a touch of earth, white truffle). The palate is fragrant and complex, with salivating acidity and a richness of flavors. It expresses notes of dried green apple, roasted sweet golden apple, a good bitterness of grapefruit and chestnut honey, notes of dried citrus (dried bitter orange, dried yellow lemon), as well as nutmeg, infusion of chamomile, lime blossom and green tea, mushrooms and white truffle. The finish is persistent, lively and tangy, with a salty touch in the background. A complex wine, which changes in the glass.
