We are in Franciacorta. In this land of great wines, vines have always been cultivated and the Antinori family owns a beautiful estate, where they produce classic DOCG wines, obtained by the method of re-fermentation in the bottle. The estate is called Montenisa and is located right in the heart of Franciacorta, near the Borgo di Calino. Marchese Antinori Blanc de Blancs is made from the best Chardonnay grapes, to which a small percentage of Pinot Blanc is sometimes added to obtain an elegant cuvée with refined freshness. The flower must is fermented in stainless steel tanks. Once the base wine has been made, the cuvée is bottled for the subsequent prise de mousse, which lasts no less than 24 months. Pale yellow in colour, this Franciacorta DOCG presents itself in the glass covered with a beautiful creamy froth, supported by a fine and persistent perlage. The nose is fragrant and immediate, with floral and fruit notes reminiscent of apple and white-fleshed peach. In the mouth, on the other hand, it is noted for its beautiful liveliness and freshness, accompanied by good balance and distinct elegance. Starters and aperitifs are ideal drinking moments. But thanks to the subtlety of its aromas and the restrained dosage, it is a bottle that also lends itself well to being placed on the table to accompany all-fish lunches and dinners.
