Since 1200 the name Franciacorta has been used to identify the small region formed by the morainic hills in the province of Brescia. Today the word Franciacorta no longer identifies only the territory, but also the wine or the noble Italian DOCG "bubbles", and the method by which they are produced.
Cabochon is today a key label of the Monte Rossa company, born in 1987 from an intuition of Emanuele Rabotti who brought back to the cellar and vineyards all the experiences which he gained while traveling the world.
They are harvested manually and placed in crates, to then be gently pressed, for no more than 48% of the yield. Each cru is vinified alone. The fermentation of the musts takes place in 220-litre oak barrels between September and February; the duration of the refinement is over 40 months.
A sparkling wine that wears pastel pink and sthe nose has a particularly vegetal bouquet that evokes the floral aromas of peony and fruity hints of yellow peach, on a spicy background of white pepper and balsamic nuances. A drink that reveals its compactness and digestibility from the first sip, granting a fresh and crunchy flavor to the palate, to close with a saline appeal and a return of clementines.
A bubbly that lends itself well to accompanying lunches and dinners with courses based on fish and shellfish or in combination with not too mature cheeses. Excellent glass for toasting on special occasions and aperitifs.
