Marchese Antinori Contessa Maggi Riseva Franciacorta DOCG 2007 - Tenuta Montenisa

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.
