In 1999 the over one hundred year old wine tradition of the Antinori family joins that of the Conti Maggi to manage the vineyards of the Montenisa Estate in the heart of Franciacorta and produce labels of absolute value such as Cuvée Royale, Contessa Maggi, Conte Aino, Blanc de Blancs and Rosé. The hills on which the flourishing vineyards extend are those around the wonderful village of Calino, linked over the centuries to the Conti Maggi, a hamlet of Cazzago San Martino in the province of Brescia, where the Chardonnay, Pinot Nero and Pinot Bianco vines have been cultivated for years. base of Franciacorta production. The best grapes are carefully selected and processed in the historic cellars of the estate, where the art of winemaking is reflected in the grandeur of the secular context, guardian of great traditions. From here come excellent wines that rest for a long time on the lees to bring out the maximum personality and elegance.
Blanc de Blanc Brut is mainly produced with Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco grapes, harvested only by hand. The must undergoes fermentation at a controlled temperature first in stainless steel tanks and then in the bottle in contact with the yeasts, for about 24 months
