The wine

Cuvée Royale comes from the selection of Chardonnay, Pinot Nero and Pinot Bianco grapes from Tenuta Montenisa, for a cuvée with unprecedented and precious harmony, with great expressiveness and elegance. The permanence on the lees enhances its intense aroma with notes of white peach, bread crust and yeasts. It has a pale straw yellow color and a creamy foam with a fine and persistent perlage. On the palate it is balanced and enhances the typical liveliness of the Brut.

Historical data

The Montenisa estate is located in the heart of Franciacorta, around the village of Calino, near Lake Iseo. The vineyards surrounding the villa owned by the Maggi family have been the heart of the production of Marchese Antinori Franciacorta since 1999.

Vinification

The 'flower' must underwent the first alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The second fermentation in the bottle in contact with the lees took place over the following 36 months.
