Description

Contessa Maggi by Marchese Antinori is a Franciacorta Riserva made with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes.

The bunches are harvested whole to be softly pressed to obtain the free-run must for a first fermentation at a controlled temperature. The second fermentation in the bottle takes place in the spring following the harvest with an ageing period in contact with the yeasts of at least 40 months.

Bright golden yellow in colour, it has a creamy froth with a fine and persistent perlage. Intense and delicate on the nose, it recalls fresh flowers and citrus hints of grapefruit and orange peel that also meet white-fleshed fruits. Perfectly balanced on the palate, it is crunchy and precise, with great balance in the sweetest notes and very fresh before a creamy and persistent finish.

Suitable to accompany refined aperitifs based on shellfish and salmon, also perfect for first courses based on seafood.
