Anthologie Blanc
Anthologie Blanc
“Antologie Blanc”, from the Greek ἄνϑος ‘flower’ and λέγω ‘I gather’; a Franciacorta born from the most carefully selected grapes (in winemaking, the term ‘flower’ is associated with the very first fractions of must, known precisely as ‘mosto fiore’), in this case made exclusively from Chardonnay white grapes. A noble vintage wine, produced only in vintages of absolute excellence – as indicated on the label – with zero dosage. Anthologie Blanc is aged in the darkness and silence of the cellars for at least 42 months. A refined, fresh, powerful and elegant Franciacorta, with an intense and harmonious character. Ideal for accompanying even the most sophisticated dishes.
A fine, fresh, powerful and elegant Franciacorta, with an intense and harmonious character.
