Franciacorta DOCG Brut Rosé Millesimato Freccianera 2020 Fratelli Berlucchi

This Franciacorta Rosé from the Freccianera line by Fratelli Berlucchi is an elegant and refined vintage sparkling wine, composed of Pinot Nero and Chardonnay grapes, grown in the vineyards of Borgonato di Corte Franca, Torbiato di Adro and Provaglio di Iseo, located at an altitude of 250 meters above sea level. The soil of morainic origin, calcareous and sandy from the glacial period, provides ideal conditions for viticulture.

The manual harvest of the grapes is followed by a soft pressing and a maceration of the Pinot Noir at a controlled temperature. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, after which the base wine ferments in the bottle and ages for at least 40 months on the yeasts.

In the glass it is characterized by a brilliant pink color and a minute and persistent perlage. Its scent is reminiscent of red fruits and citrus fruits. On the palate it offers a crunchy and savory sensation and a balance between the vigor of Pinot Noir and the elegance of Chardonnay.

It is ideal for accompanying fish-based first courses such as paccheri with scampi tartare but also pairs well with traditional rigatoni all'Amatriciana.
