👋Hello Wine Lovers!
📖We are so excited that The Cellar Door Issue 54: South Africa (R)Evolution was just released!
🥂In this issue, Saralyn's Staff Pick is the Monzio Compagnoni 2022 Franciacorta Millesimato Brut Lombardy, Italy.
🍾Monzio Compagnoni is a dynamic Franciacorta winery based in a restored 15th-century farmhouse, combining modern winemaking expertise with a strong respect for local tradition to produce elegant, characterful sparkling wines.
🫢This vintage Franciacorta is made in the same way that Champagne is made, and spends a whopping 40 months on its lees! This is longer than the basic requirement of vintage Champagne!
🍐🍏This wine is the embodiment of layered elegance that keeps on going with notes of yellow pear, golden apple, toasted almonds, pine nuts, honey, croissant, buttered toast, and just a hint of white blossom.🍯🥖🥐
🍿🍗Try this wine with buttered popcorn, any egg dish, seared scallops, roast poultry, wild mushroom risotto and...wait for it...plain salted potato chips! (don't knock it until you've tried it!)
▶️Stop by in-store or shop online for this magnificent Franciacorta!
