The 'Cabochon Fuoriserie N° 025' is a Franciacorta Brut born from the passion for excellence of one of the names that contributed to the fame and success of this territory. Monte Rossa is a winery founded in the early 1970s, which has captured the attention of enthusiasts with wines made in a highly personal style, based on high-quality grape selection, vinifications often carried out in wood, and a pursuit of harmony and elegance as a guiding thread throughout the range. Cabochon perfectly embodies this philosophy and remains an icon of Franciacorta today, synonymous with excellence and consistency over time. It is a wine that fully expresses the richness of its territory and its vocation for producing sparkling wines appreciated even beyond national borders.
The Franciacorta Brut 'Cabochon Fuoriserie N° 025' by Monte Rossa is produced from a careful selection of the finest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes grown in the Pratone, Barek, Brolo, Palo, and Nespoli parcels. After gentle pressing, each vineyard undergoes separate fermentation in small oak barrels. The base wines rest for several months in wood before the final blending, which includes 20% reserve wines. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Metodo Classico, followed by at least 40 months of aging on the lees. In the glass, it shows a pale yellow color with very fine and persistent perlage. The aromatic profile reveals notes of citrus, mandarin peel, candied fruit, honeyed softness, nuances of medicinal herbs, and balsamic touches. On the palate, it is long, intense, complex, and broad, with a balanced and savory finish. A great Franciacorta to open and enjoy on special occasions.
