La Montina Franciacorta Brut NV - Wooden Box

About the Wine // From the Producer
This cuvée of grapes from different vintages and vines, expertly placed in seven Franciacorta municipalities, is the result of soft pressing.. Two different vintages help to maintain qualitative homogeneity over time. The generous foam, the acidity and the straw yellow color anticipate the pleasant hints of fresh fruit and floral notes. Excellent as an aperitif and a safe companion for first courses, fish and white meats.
DENOMINATION - Franciacorta DOCG 
GRAPES VARIETY - 85% Chardonnay - 15% Pinot Nero

Layered profile with stone fruits, citrus notes and intense pastry. Medium-bodied, this has very finely tuned mousse, a silky palate, crisp acidity and a polished yet ripe finish. Doesn't lack tension. Disgorged February 2024. Drink now.

Bright, luminous golden yellow with persistent mousse. Inviting aroma of ripe apple, pineapple, brioche and bread crust. Animating on the palate with a fine acidity, fruity and juicy, persistent finish.

Wild strawberries, blueberries and white currants are the main aromas. In the background, lime, orange peel and cold mint. On the palate, medium body, delicate bubbles and a vibrant finish.

Lightly spiced flavors of wild cherry and passion fruit ride the lively mousse of this balanced Franciacorta, layered with lip-smacking acidity and minerally notes of oyster shell and fleur de sel. Chardonnay and Pinot Nero.
