Descrizione

This Franciacorta Conte Aymo from Tenuta Montenisa, presented in magnum format in the Marchese Antinori-signed wooden case, offers an elegant and measured tasting profile. In the glass it shows fine bubbles and a delicate mousse, a balance between vibrant freshness and good structure; the aromas recall ripe citrus, white flowers and light notes of toasted bread and almond, without excess. The palate is dry, savory, with a soft texture that supports a pleasant persistence and a consistent aromatic return.

The magnum format slows down evolution and provides a more harmonious development, ideal for convivial moments or as an important gift in the elegant wooden case. Serve chilled but not ice-cold; pairs with seafood starters, oven-baked fish dishes, shellfish, but is also suited to delicate poultry preparations and fresh cheeses. Perfect for toasts and occasions that call for a refined fizz without ostentation; a Franciacorta to choose when seeking pleasure, balance and a pleasing length on the palate.

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

Production is firmly rooted in Chianti Classico. The Tenuta Tignanello estate is located on the hills between the Greve and Pesa valleys; the soils are calcareous-marly, which contribute to the wine's character.
