The Marchese Antinori winery is one of the most renowned in Italy and abroad, with a long history and winemaking tradition spanning approximately 600 years. In addition to its various estates in Tuscany and Umbria, Marchesi Antinori began producing sparkling wines in the Franciacorta region in 1999.
Marchese Antinori's Cuvée Royale is produced with select Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Blanc grapes from the Montenisa Estate, located around the hamlet of Calino, in the heart of Franciacorta. Here, the vineyards surrounding the Maggi family villa benefit from the microclimate created by nearby Lake Iseo. The first fermentation takes place in stainless steel. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Classic Method, and the wine remains on the lees for three years.
The result is a harmonious, expressive, and extremely elegant wine. In the glass, it displays a light straw color enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage. Its aromatic profile is delicate and fragrant with fresh fruity and floral notes followed by hints of bread crust and yeast, thanks to the long lees aging. On the palate, it is silky and lively with a well-integrated acidity and a long, delicate, and refreshing finish. It's an excellent aperitif on its own or with seafood or vegetarian appetizers.

Marchese Antinori Franciacorta Cuvee Royale
overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
