Description
A Franciacorta that seeks to highlight the late founder’s love for artisan wines. Made without the use of any liqueur d’expedition, this is a pure product, which, after disgorgement, has been topped up only with the blend it was made from, with just a small dosage of 3 grammes per litre. This is an ultra-sophisticated, top-of-the-range Franciacorta: pure, crisp, and linear.

The secret of their wines is the Mount Orfano, its 'terroir' and climate, together with Pinot Bianco, are the essential elements behind the Franciacorta produced by Vigneti Cenci.
The minerality of Mount Orfano and the sunny, ventilated and dry climate allow the grapes of the Vigneti Cenci, and in particular the Pinot Bianco, to express their best, guaranteeing those floral and fruity aromas that make these wines unique.
Mineral, ripe wines with a persistent taste and fresh, fruity aromas.
It was the idea of Nelson Cenci, a medical doctor, writer and soldier, to revive the Boscaiola company's estate and its wines, thus enhancing a wine production that has always characterised this small corner of Franciacorta.
Today, Giuliana and Maurizio, Nelson's daughter and granddaughter, continue the work pursuing high quality, respect for the terroir and very low sulphites. Read more
