More questions
Rosé Franciacorta DOCG from Tenuta Montenisa, by Marchese Antinori, is presented in a cased magnum with the restraint expected of a fine sparkling wine. The color is powder-pink, bright; on the nose there are impressions of small red berries just crushed, a light field flower note and a subtle hint of bread crust that adds depth without overpowering. The perlage is fine and persistent: it gives the aromatic profile a flowing lightness and invites the sip.
On the palate it shows a balance between freshness and body: the acidity is lively but well integrated, the sapidity supports the finish and the tannic texture, if present, remains delicate. It’s a versatile rosé, perfect as an elegant aperitif and able to hold up to pairings with raw fish, shellfish dishes, white meats and delicate cured meats; it works just as well with vegetable-based first courses or light fruit desserts. Serve chilled; the magnum is ideal for preserving and enhancing its evolution over time.

The story
The estate’s winemaking origins are linked to the noble Della Gherardesca family (vineyards since the late 17th century). The property entered the Antinori holdings in the 1930s; the estate’s modern winemaking development took place from the late 1980s–1990s. First documented vintage of Vermentino at the estate: 1996.
Production philosophy
To express the Bolgheri terroir through parcel selection, experimentation in the vineyard and cellar, and practices focused on quality and respect for the territory.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in the Bolgheri DOC (Upper Maremma) on a plain encircled by gentle hills known as the “Bolgheri Amphitheatre.” Climate is moderated by sea breezes; alluvial soils range from sandy-clay to silty-clay with fine gravel (Bolgheri agglomerate), influencing the character of varieties grown (Cabernet, Merlot, Vermentino, etc.).
