standout one of the original Franciacorta producers
about 37ha of property intially purchased in 1960, the first release in 1978: one of the pioneers of Franciacorta. The property was bought by Alessandro Bianchi, an entrepreneur from Brescia; winemaker now is Luca Moradi. Quite a rich style, balanced by refreshing acidity. A range of wines is made, from the multi-vintage “Emozione” to the long-aged “RNA.”
wines tasted
Mon Satèn (vintage) ($35)
great example of sparkling Chardonnay: bready, yeasty, doughy, toasty, restrained, and elegant. Three years on the lees.
