Description
Cabochon was born from a single desire: the quest, begun in 1985, for a more meticulous selection of the crus on the Monte Rossa hill and for a new vinification approach introducing barriques for the first fermentation of the must. Cabochon represents the culmination of an exciting and virtuous journey — a desire that, united with determination, has become a brilliant constellation.

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
