Tasting notes

Pale straw yellow with a creamy, fine and persistent perlage. The nose shows white peach, bread crust and a yeasty, brioche note from the long lees ageing. The palate is balanced and lively, with crisp acidity, a gentle creaminess and a clean, dry finish, exactly as a well-made Brut should be.

About this wine

Cuvée Royale is the classic Franciacorta of the Antinori family, produced at the Montenisa estate near the hamlet of Calino, a short distance from Lake Iseo in Lombardy.

The blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Nero and Pinot Bianco is first fermented in stainless steel. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle, where the wine rests on its lees for 36 months before disgorgement, well beyond the minimum required by the appellation.

The long lees ageing gives this Brut a fine, persistent mousse and a toasty depth that makes it as suitable for the table as for the aperitif.
