Prices incl. VAT plus shipping costs
The Marchese Antinori Contessa Maggi Riserva Franciacorta DOCG by Tenuta Montenisa of Marchesi Antinori is dedicated to Comtesse Camilla Maggi, wife of Conte Aimo, former owners of Tenuta Montenisa.
The Contessa Maggi Riserva Franciacorta DOCG shines in pale golden yellow with brilliant greenish reflections in the glass and a subtle, creamy foam with very delicate perlage. The bouquet inspires 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 and persistent, harmonious finish.
