Franciacorta is widely considered to be Italy’s best sparkling wine, and holds its own in comparison with that other great sparkling of the world, Champagne. In fact, the regional regulations require a longer ageing period for their non-vintage styles, so this wine easily competes with any other global contender. Il Mosnel has a long history in the area and their wine shows this in its sense of easy grace and grandeur. Fresh and lengthy, with overtones of brioche and apple blossom.
