Descrizione

Elegant and measured, this Blanc de Blancs Franciacorta DOCG from Tenuta Montenisa of Marchese Antinori — offered in the Mathusalem format and presented in a wooden case — reveals a refined, linear personality. The profile opens with notes of fresh citrus, green apple and white flowers, with an underpinning of just-toasted bread that supports the complexity without weighing it down. On the palate it is sapid and lively, with balanced acidity and a delicate structure: the fine perlage lends smoothness while the finish remains pleasant and well balanced.

Designed for important moments and as a gift, the large format amplifies the wine’s substance, offering an elegant development in the glass; the wooden case enhances its presentation. Serve chilled, in a flute or sparkling wine glass; it pairs well with seafood appetizers, shellfish and light fish dishes, as well as fresh cheeses and herb-based preparations. A Franciacorta of understated finesse, suited to those seeking purity, sapidity and a pleasant continuity of flavour.

Winery history

The Antinori family has been connected to winemaking for centuries and is recorded as active in the wine trade as early as 1385. The "Marchese Antinori" label is among the winery's historic names; since the 2011 vintage the Chianti Classico Riserva "Marchese Antinori" has been produced exclusively from grapes from Tenuta Tignanello, one of the family's most representative estates.

Production philosophy

It combines respect for tradition and the land with technical innovation: vineyard care, ampelographic research and careful winemaking practices to enhance the expression of Sangiovese and the historic parcels of Chianti Classico.

Terroir and vineyards
