Description
Brut white Franciacorta DOCG, Lombardy, 12% ABV, produced by Montenisa (Antinori). Blend: 75% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir, 2021 vintage. A Franciacorta born south of Lake Iseo, in one of the most favorable geoclimatic areas of the wine-growing region. The whole Chardonnay bunches were directly subjected to a soft pressing. The free-run must, obtained from the first pressing, underwent the first alcoholic fermentation, which took place in stainless steel tanks and small barriques. Towards spring of the following year, the wine began its second fermentation process in the bottle and then remained in contact with the lees for 60 months. Delicate aroma with hints of floral notes of white-fleshed fruit. Straw yellow with very light golden reflections. On the palate, it is harmonious and balanced; a fine and elegant wine.

The most important building is undoubtedly the 'Palazzetto Maggi' built in the 16th century and frescoed by the Lattanzio Gambara (1530-1574) from Brescia. This building is located in the centre of two large courtyards enclosed by porticoes.
The small church of Santo Stefano is also part of the estate. It is on the hill of the same name and overlooks the village: immersed in greenery amidst vineyards, this thousand-year-old parish church, with its Greek-cross plan, has for centuries preserved the tombs of the local noble Calini family.
