TASTING NOTES
The Cabochon Vintage 2016 by Monte Rossa is a prestigious sparkling wine from Franciacorta, representing the vinicultural excellence of Lombardy. This vintage is produced with a blend composed of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir, coming from vineyards located on the moraine hills of Bornato, a renowned area for its favorable microclimate and soil quality. The harvest is carried out manually, ensuring a careful selection of the grapes at the peak of ripeness. The grapes are gently pressed and vinified separately in 250-liter oak barrels. After the first fermentation, the wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, followed by a long aging on the lees that lasts over 54 months. This process gives the wine aromatic complexity and a refined structure. The Cabochon Vintage 2016 presents a golden-yellow color, with a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it reveals scents of hazelnut, pastry, sultana grapes, light coffee, and toasted notes. On the palate, it is broad and generous, with great complexity, balanced by an acidic and salty finish characterized by exotic fruit notes. The Cabochon Vintage 2016 from Monte Rossa is ideal to be enjoyed immediately or after a period of bottle aging, making it perfect for special occasions or as an exclusive gift for quality wine enthusiasts.

Cabochon
Discover Cabochon in Franciacorta and its fine wines in our online store
The name Franciacorta identifies, since 1200, a small region near the Lake Iseo , in the province of Brescia. The wine produced has always enjoyed a good reputation and the first written testimony dates back to 1570 describing wine with "bubbles" , a product defined by the ancients as lively and bubbly. Today, the word Franciacorta no longer identifies only the territory but also the wine ( the noble Italian DOCG «bollicine» ) and the Metodo Classico (refermentation in the bottle with minimum aging of 25 months after the harvest). Born in 1987 from an intuition of Emanuele Rabotti , Cabochon soon became one of the most important symbols of the company. Refinement, intensity, elegance and an endless perlage: this is Cabochon, the most prestigious Franciacorta of Monte Rossa. Cabochon, so structured, rich and intense, is one of the spearheads in the prized territory of Franciacorta.
