2018 La Montina Franciacorta Quor Nature - Wooden Box

About the Wine // From the Producer
Produced exclusively with grapes harvested during excellent years and selected from the longest-lived vineyards, Quor is the highest expression of all our Franciacorta.

 It is the result of the skilful union of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir obtained through the soft pressing of the Marmonier Vertical Press. At the sight it is bright yellow, on the nose it is characterized by appealing aromas of ripe yellow fruit and delicate notes of toasting, with honeyed hints that enhance its elegance. The wood, present in the shades of color as well as in the taste, contributes to give a strong character to the wine. In the mouth it stands out for its acidic verve, complemented by a fullness of taste that makes it ideal combined with elaborate culinary preparations, including meat-based ones such as the “Spiedo Bresciano”.

DENOMINATION - Franciacorta Riserva DOCG
GRAPES VARIETY - 55% Chardonnay (40% in Wood) - 45% Pinot Nero

This shows aromas of chalky lemons, sliced pears, raw almonds, praline and crushed stones. Fresh and focused with a medium body and mineral backbone on the mid-palate. Crunchy acidity and very fine bubbles with a refreshing, citrusy finish. Drink or hold.

Light to medium golden colour with a medium intense mousseux. The nose offers some oak, a nutty complexity with peach, pear and some buttery notes. Good grip on the palate, bone dry with some toast from the oak and ripe stone fruit notes, complex and harmonious with fine length and soft creamy finish.

Complex biscuity, toasty notes with zippy yellow orchard fruits, grapefruit and lime; vibrant and intense with a long, persistent finish.
