Features
Name:
Tenuta Montenisa Franciacorta Donna Cora Satèn 2018
Terrain:
mineral-rich, fertile, well-drained soil due to pebbles from millennial glaciations
Cellar
The Montenisa estate is located in the areas surrounding the ancient village of Calino, the jewel of Franciacorta, where ancient palaces, convents, abbeys and churches scattered across the green hills and morainic valleys have witnessed centuries of history.
In 1158, the village was ceded by the bishop of Brescia to a local noble family, and towards the end of the 19th century Lavinia Calini, who married Gaetano Maggi, inherited the property, which will always remain part of the patrimony of the noble Brescian family.
His descendants also included Count Aimo, the creator and symbolic figure of the legendary 'MilleMiglia' automobile race, whose wife, Countess Camilla, who lived in the splendid Villa Maggi, was a much-loved figure in Franciacorta.
The vineyards surrounding the villa owned by the Maggi family have been the heart of Marchese Antinori Franciacorta production since 1999.
Description
Donna Cora expresses all the richness and varied facets of Chardonnay grapes vinified in purity.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Flowers and white-fleshed fruit are the characteristic notes of its enthralling bouquet, which on the nose gives sensations of breadth and great balance. It has a straw yellow colour, with light golden reflections, and is distinguished by a creamy froth and a delicate, persistent perlage, characteristics of Franciacorta Satèn. On the palate it is fine and harmonious, characterised by marked elegance.
Storage time:
6-9 years
Vinification
The 'flower' must underwent the first alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
