The Buyer | Coming of age: 190 year milestone reappraisal of Franciacorta Mosnel

The long-established Mosnel winery is run with nature in mind in the scenic Franciacorta appellation on the shores of Italy’s Lake Iseo. Conceived in the middle of the last century as Italy’s answer to Champagne, Franciacorta should now be judged on its own terms, offering both quality and something a little bit different. Victor Smart went to savour the sparklings and judge the ageing potential of some of the nearly twenty-years old wines.
