Franciacorta Brut DOCG - Cuvée Royale - Marchese Antinori Tenuta Montenisa (12.5%)

A Franciacorta sparkling wine made mainly from Chardonnay, with small additions of Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc, produced by the traditional method. It has a bright straw-yellow colour with a fine, persistent perlage. The nose shows fresh fruit such as apple and pear, citrus, delicate floral touches and more evolved notes of toasted bread and yeast from bottle fermentation. On the palate it is lively and fresh, with good structure and soft effervescence, and a long, clean finish with fresh fruit and pleasant minerality. It is ideal as an aperitif or with delicate fish and seafood dishes, light antipasti and fresh cheeses.
