2014 Monzio Compagnoni Franciacorta Saten (Lombardy, IT)

Varietal: Chardonnay

Region: Lombardy, Italy

Franciacorta may not be as well known as prosecco, but this Italian sparkler is well deserving of some fanfare. Made from the same grapes and in the same style as Champagne, this hits all the notes Champagne lovers adore but at a fraction of the price. Creamy on the palate, with notes of orchard fruit, citrus, and toasted almond. A real stunner and one of our new bubbly go-to's.
