Brand Story: “The sparkling wine tradition of Monfort was born in 1985 following a dream and a far-sighted vision of Lorenzo Simoni to transform the best Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes from the mountain slopes into high-end metodo classico bubbles. Almost 40-years of history is imprinted in the Monfort Cuvée ‘85 Trentodoc. The swirl of freshness and sapidity given by the Chardonnay, is enriched with the power of the Pinot Noir.”

James Suckling: “Rich and flavorful with a generous, fruit-driven palate. It offers notes of candied lemons, peaches and fresh nuts, with a medium to full body and a creamy texture. Fine and smooth finish. Good concentration and length. Drink now.”
