Packaged in an irresistible square-based bottle, the 2009 Franciacorta Milledi Brut makes for a beautiful presentation at any special occasion. This showcase bottle is redolent of mild citrus and exotic fruit with a pretty layering of baked bread and a distant whiff of exotic fruit. The mouthfeel is thin, tonic and fresh. Drink: 2014-2018.
Roberto Gatti founded the relatively new Ferghettina winery and produces 350,000 bottles today, including four types of Franciacorta. Their square-shaped Milledi Brut bottle is an object of rare beauty.
