Sparkling wine Pavò Franciacorta Brut Riserva "Girolamo Cristini" 2015 DOCG

“Girolamo Cristini” represents, in the rare years in which it is produced (usually every five years), one of the highest peaks that Franciacorta is able to express. 
It is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, never available before five years after the harvest. 
A blend born from the desire to enhance all the best and most suitable plots of Pavò Franciacorta such as those of Provaglio d'Iseo. 
Vineyards that give different characteristics and that lead to a sparkling wine that is unique in terms of aromatic completeness, elegance and personality. 
The bouquet recalls toasted bread, candied citrus fruits and aromatic herbs. 
The sip is creamy, rich, complex and structured.   Maturation and refinement: At least five long years of sacrifices characterize this cuvée with an extraordinary freshness. 
A variable percentage, depending on the vintage, is aged in small, fine French oak barriques. 
Subsequently, the natural refermentation in the bottle takes place and then the élevage on the yeasts for a period of at least 60 months.    Alc.:12.5% Pairings: The olfactory complexity and taste richness make it an ideal accompaniment to the entire meal. 
Perfect pairing with fish-based dishes, excellent with oysters.       Serving temperature: 8/9 °C Soil type: Partly morainic deposits of ancient age, rich in skeleton and very deep, covered by fine aeolian deposits; partly of recent moraine origin mixed with fluvioglacial deposition.
