Milledì is assembled from Chardonnay grown across twelve vineyards in eight different Franciacorta villages, allowing each site to contribute a slightly different layer of fruit, freshness and mineral character. Only the gently extracted first juice is used, with each parcel fermented separately before the final blend undergoes its second fermentation in bottle and rests on the lees for 36 months. The estate’s distinctive square bottle was developed to encourage greater contact between the wine and its lees, helping to build the creamy texture and subtle pastry-like complexity that sit beneath its vivid citrus fruit.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect With...
