#Franciacorta #DOCG is the only true rival to the style of #Champagne in #Italy. Producers of Franciacorta are limited to #sparkling #winemaking. Franciacorta earned its DOCG for sparkling wines made by #metodo #classico (the #traditional #method) in 1995, and produces wines that, like Champagne, are driven by flavors derived from secondary #fermentation and #autolysis. #Chardonnay, #Pinot #Nero aka #pinotnoir and a maximum 50% #Pinot #Bianco are permitted for use in the wine. #corkdork #corkdorkextraordinaire #wine #vino

I never noticed the shells on this label until I turned the sharpness all the way up. #broadside #cabernet #sauvignon #cabernetsauvignon #2013 #pasorobles #california #wine #vino #margarita #vineyard #sommelier #corkdorkextraordinaire
