Description
Cabochon is the most prestigious Franciacorta produced by Monte Rossa. Fruit of research started in 1985 in order to make a more careful selection of the crus on the Monte Rossa slopes and a new vinification system that introduced barriques for the first fermentation of the must. Results were such that the wine obtained became a leading company label.
