Leonia Brut 2020, Frescobaldi

Leonia brut 2017 has a beautiful straw-yellow colour. The perlage is utterly refined, with bubbles constantly forming and creating a diamond necklace-like edge. These accentuate the golden tinges of the wine. The nose reveals splendid hints of citrus fruit, peach and white fruit, and floral hints of gorse, magnolia, hawthorn and cedar leaf. This is followed by hints of sweet pastry, toasted bread and more mature aromas of dried fruit (e.g. dried apricot). Creamy and fresh.
