Tenuta Montenisa Cuvée Royale Franciacorta Brut DOCG

Cuvée Royale is a Franciacorta Brut DOCG sparkling wine from Marchese Antinori's Tenuta Montenisa. It is a blend of the three most common Franciacorta varieties: Chardonnay in the majority, with Pinot Noir and Pinot Bianco. It rests on the lees for 36 months and is made without a vintage year. The wine is expressive and elegant, with fragrance and length. It suits an aperitif, and goes well with starters of vegetables, eggs or shellfish. In the glass it is pale straw yellow with a creamy mousse and a fine, persistent bead. The nose offers white peach, bread crust and brewer's yeast, and the palate is lively and fresh with good balance and persistence.
