Cabochon is the most prestigious Franciacorta of Monte Rossa. It was born from the research, begun in 1985, of a more careful selection of the crü of the hill of Monte Rossa and of a new system of vinification that introduced the barriques for the first fermentation in the must. The results were such that the wine obtained was imposed between the farm labels. The vinification involves the use of 55% Chardonnay grapes and the remaining 45% Pinot Noir. The grapes come from Franciacorta DOCG, on the morainic hills of Bornato, in Brescia. The vinification is made starting from the selection of grapes in the vineyard with manual harvesting in wooden boxes, follows the pressing of the soft grapes with selection of the best part of the grapes for no more than 48% of the yield. Each Crü is vinified in purity. Finally fermentation in oak barrels of 250 liters. The disgorgement takes place between the month of September and February. The aging increases for at least 36 Months.
