Vinification of the Tenuta Montenisa Marchese Antinori Blanc de Blancs Franciacorta

The elegant Marchese Antinori Blanc de Blancs Franciacorta from Italy is a cuvée made from the Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc grape varieties. The Marchese Antinori Blanc de Blancs Franciacorta is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, as this Italian wine exudes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underlines the success of wines from the Old World. The fact that the Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc grapes thrive under the influence of a rather cool climate also has an undeniable influence on the ripeness of the grapes. Among other things, this results in particularly long and even grapes and a rather moderate alcohol content in the wine. The grapes for this sparkling wine from Italy are harvested exclusively by hand once optimum ripeness has been ensured. After the grape harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the winery. Here they are sorted and carefully pressed. The base wines are then fermented. Once the cuvée has been blended, it is aged using the classic bottle fermentation method. The Tenuta Montenisa Marchese Antinori Blanc de Blancs Franciacorta then matures for several months in the bottle and is finally disgorged.
