Aromas of peach tart, acacia honey and wild thyme lift from the glass of this wine. A blend of savory and fruity notes mingle on the palate, all leading to a citrus-dominated palate and finishing with refined perlage and vibrant acidity. — Jeff Porter

Blend: Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco. Importer materials list 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Bianco, while a separate technical submission lists 90/10. The exact proportions should be confirmed for your shipment before using them in an offer. “Blanc de Blancs” here means entirely white grapes, rather than exclusively Chardonnay.

Production: Hand harvesting, gentle pressing, and fermentation primarily in temperature-controlled stainless steel, followed by a second fermentation in bottle. Castel Faglia also uses oak for selected cuvées; its published production page specifies a minimum of 18 months of bottle aging for Brut, although I couldn’t verify a separate aging period for this Monogram bottling.
