Monte Rossa Franciacorta Cabochon Brut 2012
The Cabochon is the most prestigious Franciacorta wine among Monte Rossa production. It has been created in 1985 researching the most accurate selection of cru from the Hill of Monte Rossa and a new vinification system introducing the barriques for the first fermentation of the must. The great satisfaction was that the obtained wine imposed itself among the most important labels of the winery. Cabochon Brut is made up of 70% of Chardonnay and 30% of Black Pinot grapes. The refining in contact with ferments lasts for more than 40 months. This is a very harmonious, elegant and persistent wine with a well defined and rich personality, making it an unmistakable wine.
