'Blanc de Blancs' Franciacorta Brut DOCG Marchese Antinori

The Franciacorta Brut Blanc de Blancs of the Montesina Estate (purchased by the Marquises Antinori) was born in the heart of the renowned Franciacorta area. It is mainly produced with Chardonnay grapes and with Pinot Bianco grapes, harvested only by hand. The "flower" must ferments at a controlled temperature, first in stainless steel tanks and then in the bottle in contact with the lees, for about 24 months. Franciacorta Brut Blanc de Blancs is characterized by a pale yellow colour, a creamy froth and a fine and persistent perlage. The nose opens with a fragrant and delicate fruity bouquet, enriched by floral notes and hints of apple and white-fleshed peach. On the palate it gives vivacity and freshness. This Franciacorta stands out for its balance and marked elegance. It is excellent to serve with appetizers, aperitifs or first courses based on fresh and light fish.
