FRANCESCO BATTISTA RISERVA

Silky equilibrium

The patience of waiting

With its deep straw-yellow colour, it has fine effervescence and long persistence. To the nose, it opens slowly with a hint of ginesta bush and marzipan before evoking the flavours of pastries, finally recalling vanilla, turmeric and blonde leaf tobacco. On the palate, the effervescence creates great creaminess, the softness negates any complaint over the absence of dosage. Freshness and minerality are perfectly integrated in the equilibrium of an accessible wine, which displays the ripeness of the fruit. Excellent persistence with hints of toasted nuts and buttery notes.

RISERVA FRANCESCO BATTISTA

TWO EXPRESSIONS
OF A GREAT PASSION

The first soft, balanced and rich, the second bold, fresh and long-lasting.
The Francesco Battista reserves are a tribute to the dedication of two great men of the Bariselli family and express the bond between the past and the future through the generations.

FRANCESCO BATTISTA RISERVA CRIO-ROSÉ

Evolutionary structure

One, None and One hundred thousand,
a continuous evolution in the glass

Cherry-red coloured, compact and vivid, notwithstanding the long evolution. It opens to the nose with fineness in the aromas of ginger, gentian and mallow, followed by the sweetness of nectarine peach and almonds before releasing notes of fruit and spices, the typical winy tang of Pinot Nero macerated on the skins. On the palate, it denotes freshness, the great juiciness of cherry
and currants, enriched with the aromas of herbs and spices. The structure is powerful and leaves plenty of room for future evolution. A long, dry finale, with balsamic odours of resin and undergrowth.
