'Essence Rosé' Franciacorta DOCG Rosé Brut Millesimato Antica Fratta 2018

The Essence Rosé Franciacorta Docg is an elegant bubble with a suggestive pink hue, which fills the glass with a rich and fine foam to then leave room for reflections of bright pink light. This Franciacorta with a fragrant, intense and balanced flavor is obtained from a blend composed of 60% Pinot Noir grapes vinified in rosé and the remaining 40% Chardonnay grapes. Both vines are grown in the areas of the Antica Fratta winery, on the hills of Monticelli Brusati, in the heart of Franciacorta, on calcareous and clayey soils of morainic origin. Once they have reached maturity, between mid-August and early September, the grapes are harvested by hand and taken to the cellar for vinification. It is a long process that allows you to extract the best aromas from the grapes, keeping their freshness intact. The first phase involves a maturation of over 42 months on its lees. After disgorgement, this Franciacorta is left to rest for another 4 or 5 months for the second fermentation in the company's large cellar, dug out of the rock. Thus was born Essence Rosé Franciacorta Docg Brut Millesimato , one of the flagship products of the Antica Fratta winery, a reference point for the production of Franciacorta for many years.
