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 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

Terroir and vineyards
