Conte Aymo
Vinification
The whole bunches of Pinot Noir, picked entirely by hand, were given a soft pressing. The must obtained by this initial pressing went immediately into temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks where the first alcoholic fermentation took place. In the spring of the following year, the wine began its second fermentation, this time in bottle, remaining in contact with its fine lees for an extended period of time.
Tasting Notes
The 2015 Conte Aymo offers a brilliant yellow color to the eye: the foam is creamy, recognizable by its finesse and persistence. The nose is characterized by its varietal typicality with pleasant sensations of red berry fruit. On the palate, the typical Pinot Noir flavors confer balance, complexity, elegance, and harmony.
Historical Data
The Montenisa estate is located around the hamlet of Calino, near Lake Iseo in the heart of the Franciacorta appellation. The vineyards surrounding the proprietary villa of the Maggi family have been the heart of the production of Marchese Antinori Franciacorta since 1999.
The Wine
Created by the interaction between the experience of the Antinori family and the demonstrated high viticultural quality of a territory, Franciacorta, the ”Vintage Dated” - Marchese Antinori Conte Aymo, Contessa Maggi, and Donna Cora – are produced from selected Chardonnay, Pinot Nero, and Pinot Bianco grapes and are made only in exceptional vintage.

Tenuta Montenisa
The estate is located in the heart of the Franciacorta production zone around the centuries-old hamlet of Calino. The vine has always been cultivated in this area of important wines. Some in fact maintain that “Franciacorta” has its origin in the phrase “Petite France”, an affectionate name given to it by Charlemagne.
