Description
A white sparkling wine made using the Charmat method from Franciacorta, 12.5% ABV, produced by Monte Rossa. 100% Chardonnay. 0.75 L bottle. A Franciacorta that embodies the elegance and sophistication of this prestigious appellation. Aromas of lily of the valley, cedar, plum, and toasted hazelnuts, with intense notes of bread, brine, and aromatic herbs. Straw yellow in the glass. On the palate, an enveloping and creamy finish, heralding textbook smoothness, accompanies a sip of great freshness and a long, savory progression, yet with elegance and balance.

The history of Monte Rossa is starred by strategically winning decisions such as being first to abandon still wines to search for excellence in Franciacorta, or the determination to invest in technology, or again the continuous research and experimentation distinguishing this winery.
Today the Monte Rossa Company manages 70 hectars of vineyards. The different locations of cru on plots with different exposition contribute to increase the aromatic richness of grapes in such a way to make up very rich cuvée under the frame and complexity aspect. The Company production is 500.000 bottles approx. per year. Read more
