TASTING NOTES
The Monterossa Cabochon Fuoriserie N.025 Magnum Astucciato epitomises the pinnacle of Franciacorta excellence from the renowned Monte Rossa winery, blending elegance, complexity, and a long-standing tradition of oenological research. This Brut Franciacorta, crafted from a meticulous blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Nero, originates from the finest crus on Monte Rossa’s hillside vineyards, where the morainic soils and ideal microclimate promote optimal grape ripening. Presented in a prestigious 1.5-litre Magnum format, housed within an elegant silk-screened gift box, it is perfect for gifting or special occasions. The Magnum size not only enhances presentation but also encourages a slower, more harmonious ageing process, elevating the wine’s delicate bubbles and intricate aromatic profile. Visually, the wine displays a radiant golden yellow colour with an exceptionally fine and persistent perlage. The nose reveals a refined and layered bouquet, featuring notes of dried white flowers, ripe apricot, lime, lemon thyme, saffron, and strawberry tree. On the palate, it is rich and textured, with full, compact, and crisp bubbles, a perfect balance between acidity and softness, culminating in a long, enveloping finish that delivers an elegant and satisfying tasting experience. Born from research initiated in 1985 to select the best crus and innovate vinification through barrique fermentation, the Cabochon Fuoriserie stands as Monte Rossa’s most prestigious Franciacorta, acclaimed by authoritative guides such as James Suckling. The Monterossa Cabochon Fuoriserie N.025 Magnum Astucciato is the ideal choice for connoisseurs seeking a highly prestigious Franciacorta that expresses the terroir and philosophy of Monte Rossa at its finest, enhanced by the added value of the Magnum format and sophisticated packaging.
