Falstaff awards for Borgo Maragliano: Blanc de Blancs Francesco Galliano 2019 and Blanc de Noirs Brut Nature Dogma 2018 received respectively 92 and 91 Points.
TASTING NOTES
A sparkle characterised by very fine chains of bubbles in a pale straw-coloured wine with greenish highlights. The structured bouquet features sensations of fruit, lime, aromatic herbs and honey, with acacia blossom, which bring out the true nature of the Chardonnay grape. The delicious entry makes its very seductive and harmonious as it lingers on the palate. The remarkable flavour of this Blanc de Blancs expresses the true characteristics of a great grape grown in a very hostile terroir.
GASTRONOMIC PAIRINGS
Perfect on its own or as an aperitif accompanied by shellfish, raw fish and fresh cheeses.
TASTING NOTES
A fine and intense perlage and persistent foam generate a flurry of colours ranging from greenish yellow to the copper nuance typical of a sparkling wine made from Pinot Noir grapes. The olfactory panorama is elegant and precious with notes of musk, humus and citrus fruits mixed with hints of brushwood, tobacco, leather and notes of eucalyptus. An elegantly balanced, rich, full palate with a foam that envelops despite the fact that this is a pas-dosé sparkling wine. An explosive finish with a vinous vein elevates it without question to the status of Auteur Wine.
GASTRONOMIC PAIRINGS
Excellent as an aperitif or for raising a toast at any time of day, it delicately accompanies soups, shellfish, white meats and fresh cheeses.
