The 2013 Franciacorta Brut Cabochon (disgorged in July 2018) is a blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Nero. The bouquet of this sparkling wine is rich and broad with a leading component of baked bread or baguette. Those aromas are framed by fruity notes of peach, citrus and pear. This is a mid-weight wine with direct and tonic effervescence. The mouthfeel is already fleshed out and soft. Some 50,000 bottles were made.

Monte Rossa has produced a very pretty Brut sparkler in this warm vintage. The 2012 Franciacorta Brut Cabochon (70/30 Chardonnay and Pinot Nero) offers a unique aromatic presentation that unfolds in two distinct acts. In act one, the wine bursts forth with zesty citrus aromas with peach and passion fruit. In the second act, it reveals a slow succession of dried herbs and honey. This Brut sparkler exhibits sharp and tonic perlage that tastes spicy and sharp. The wine offers great overall intensity and liveliness.

The 2009 Franciacorta Brut Cabochon has evolved beautifully over the years to present mellow fruit aromas with apricot, honeydew melon and butterscotch. This is a very stylized sparkling wine that does a great job of presenting a rich personality and a complex bouquet. Soft, foamy perlage gives the wine an opulent feel. I would suggest a shorter drinking window.
