Franciacorta Saten Brut Millesimato 2020
Not the classic one, but Monio Compagnoni’s boldest interpretation of a product known for its softness, elegance and refinement.
Color: very deep, thick golden yellow.
Bouquet: It has a rich spectrum of scents, it is enveloping and almost fat without any cloyingness; there are sensations of vanilla, biscuit, liquorice and aniseed.
Taste: In perfect correspondence with the nose, the taste is also full, rich, generous and juicy; all well balanced by an acid base that allows the sweet sensations (of ripe fruit) to express themselves without tiring the palate.
Franciacorta Cuvée Pas Dosé
Color: golden yellow with a light coppery hue
Nose: broad and enveloping, with notes of yellow peach, golden apple and lime
Taste: a fresh and citric entrance and a pleasant persistent acid tension. Sensations that recall yellow pulp fruit, roasted cashew with a pleasantly bitter and savoury finish.
Franciacorta Extra Brut Millesimato 2020
The perfect synthesis between Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. A wine that is the result of research that aims to extract the best from both these grape varieties and the territory where they grew
Color: straw yellow with a slight hint of green.
Bouquet: Notes of apple, pear and walnut. Very clean with notes of grapefruit at the end.
Taste: Complex and dry with hints of exotic fruit. Good acidity and freshness with notes of tangerine.
Franciacorta Cuvée Brut Alla Moda
The perfect representation of Monzio Compagnoni’s philosophy: a wine of character, immutable over time, with a strong, recognisable, unique identity.
Color: straw yellow with a slight hint of green, abundant foam and extremely fine perlage.
Bouquet: there are clear, sustained floral hints alongside the traditional bread crust and more delicate hints of peach and apple, and it has remarkable freshness and minerality.
Taste: Initial sensation of freshness with notes of grapefruit and tangerine and a final toasty note.

Authenticity, quality, tradition: thanks to the combination of these elements, these Franciacorta and other wines have a concrete, recognizable character, which perfectly embodies winery’s philosophy.
