The Marchese Antinori Contessa Maggi Riserva Franciacorta DOCG of Tenuta Montenisa of the Marchesi Antinori is dedicated to the Comtesse Camilla Maggi, wife of Conte Aimo, former owner of the Tenuta Montenisa.
The Contessa Maggi Riserva Franciacorta DOCG shines in pale golden yellow with brilliant greenish reflections in the glass and a fine, creamy foam with very delicate perlage. The bouquet delights with inviting, intense aromas of ripe white fruits, rich and very appealing. Complex, balanced, elegant, full-bodied and of good structure, this very beautiful Riserva Franciacorta presents itself on the palate. Very long lasting and sustainable, harmonious finale.
Vinification of the Marchese Antinori Contessa Maggi Riserva Franciacorta DOCG by Tenuta Montenisa
The Spumante Riserva of the "Millesimé" line is vinified from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and represents the tradition of Franciacorta sparkling wines in their highest form.
75% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Noir undergo alcoholic fermentation in a stainless steel tank and in small barriques, followed by malolactic fermentation and ageing on the fine yeasts in the bottle for 60 months.
