Description
A Franciacorta that underlines the late Founder's love for signature bubbles. Made without using any liqueur d'expedition, it is a pure product, having been topped up, after disgorgement, only with the same cuvée from which it is made, with only a small dosage of 3 grams/litre. A high-end Franciacorta, very refined, defined, essential and dry. Ideal with fish and shellfish crudités in perfect Champenoise style. It can also be enjoyed at the start of lunch or dinner as an invitation to food. Each vintage year will always be in a limited edition.

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
