This exemplary Blanc de Blancs Brut from Monogram is a Franciacorta DOCG that celebrates the excellence of Chardonnay grapes, cultivated with dedication in the prestigious vineyards of Franciacorta. It presents a bright straw yellow color with greenish reflections, a sign of freshness and vivacity. The effervescence is fine and persistent, a characteristic that precedes a balanced and complex palate.

On the nose, Monogram's Blanc de Blancs offers a bouquet rich in aromas of fresh fruits such as peach and citrus, followed by delicate hints of white flowers and subtle notes of toasted bread and almond, resulting from maturation on the lees. On the palate, the combination of lively acidity and creamy body gives rise to a harmonious and persistent sip, concluding with a very pleasant sensation of cleanliness.

Ideal as an aperitif, this Franciacorta pairs splendidly with fish dishes, shellfish, or as an elegant companion to light appetizers. Its refinement also makes it perfect for special celebrations and memorable toasts.
