Franciacorta Brut Rosé
Franciacorta Rosé Santa Lucia produced with a high percentage of Pinot noir vinified in pink has structure and vigor, but also balance given by the high fruity flavor intensity. It is pronounced, mouth-filling and invigorating. It is produced with the best grapes from only two vineyards located in the township of Rodengo Saiano. The vineyards are grown with high planting density and the yields are low in order to produce tasty wines. In this Franciacorta Rosé the Pinot Noir, vinified with a short maceration, is the real architect of the structure of the taste while the Chardonnay contributes with a touch of elegance.
The grapes are harvested by hand and vinified separately by vine variety and by parcel. From the pressure of the whole bunches of Pinot Noir, a pink-colored must is obtained which ferments in steel at a controlled temperature. The Chardonnay must also ferments in steel. After the blend of the cuvée, the second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to traditional method and the sparkling wine ages in autolysis on the lees for at least 2 years. It is dosed with 6 g / l of sugar.
