"There's plenty of finesse in this sleek Champagne, along with an airy texture and loads of grip. Graphite, lemon, toast and mineral aromas and flavors prevail, and this takes on a chalky edge on the lingering aftertaste. Best from 2010 through 2028. 92 points" Wine Spectator

"A vibrant, berry-inflected rosé. Light and delicate, this is balanced and firms up on the chalky finish. Drink now. 88 points" Wine Spectator

"An exuberant mousse that carries expressive raisin, dried apple and bread dough flavors. It's quite sweet, but lacks vivacity. 80 points" Wine Spectator

Montenisa Brut is the result of a careful selection of Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and a small quantity of Pinot Nero grapes, grown in the vineyards of our Tenuta di Montenisa estate in the heart of Franciacorta. The first fermentation takes place partly in stainless steel vats and partly in barriques, and the second in the bottles, with subsequent contact on the yeasts for at least 30 months. The wine is golden yellow in colour with plenty of mousse and a delicate, lasting perlage . The intense aromas include hints of white peaches and apples and yeasty, toasty notes. The typical liveliness of the Brut is enhanced on the palate by ripe fruit aromas adding depth and balance.
