Description
The liqueur de tirage is added to the wine and the bottle is placed in the cellar to rest for the second fermentation. After a minimum of 30 months on the lees, this Pas Dosé is riddled to concentrate the sediment against the temporary cap, then disgorged and packaged. It displays a delicate, refined bouquet, excellent weight and body, a crisp vein of tasty acidity, a velvety mouthfeel, a soft, foamy mousse and a persistent bead of fine bubbles.

Emanuela Barboglio developed this wine vocation by planting the first specialised vineyards and adopting the new DOC Franciacorta appellation in 1968.
In 1976 the name 'Azienda Agricola Barzanò Barboglio' was abandoned in favour of the current 'il Mosnel', a dialectal toponym of Celtic origin meaning 'pietraia' in Italian, i.e. a heap of stones, on which the company stands.
At the helm of Il Mosnel is the fifth generation of winegrowers, Emanuela Barboglio's sons: Giulio Barzanò takes care of the technical, production and commercial side; while Lucia Barzanò is in charge of marketing, external relations and administration. The family business is supported by a highly trained staff and experienced agronomists and oenologists who constantly follow production and its evolution. Read more
