FRANCIACORTA BRUT BLANC DE BLANC "P.R." MONTE ROSSA
Historic winery in Franciacorta where peasant tradition has harmoniously merged with technology and where craftsmanship and a passionate pursuit of excellence are managed with commitment and an entrepreneurial mentality, without compromise. It was 1972 when the entrepreneur Paolo Rabotti with the precious support of his wife Paola embarked on the path of viticulture. An inspired and far-sighted choice that today is carried out with enthusiasm and innovative spirit by his son Emanuele. The history of Monte Rossa is studded with strategically winning decisions: such as that of abandoning the road of still wines first in search of excellence in Franciacorta, or that of investing with determination in technology, or the continuous research and experiments that distinguish the cellar.
Today Monte Rossa governs 70 hectares of vineyards. The various positions of the crus on soils and their different exposures contribute to broadening the aromatic heritage of the grapes, so as to compose cuvées rich in structure and complexity. The winery's production is around 500,000 bottles per year.
The PR. BRUT was born to celebrate Monte Rossa's 35 years of activity and its name is a tribute to the founders of the company who have the same initials: Paola Rovetta and Paolo Rabotti. It is a wine that is the result of the passionate search for harmony and elegance, a Blanc de Blancs that combines the breadth, structure, complexity of the reserve wine (35%) and the persuasiveness, the typical finesse of Chardonnay (65%) from from the best crus, which confirms the production philosophy of the company aimed at finding excellence not only in the vintage but in its entire production.
The selection of the grapes takes place in the vineyard with manual harvesting in boxes. They are vinified by pressing the soft grapes with
selection of the best part of the grapes for no more than 55% of the yield. Each cru is vinified in purity. Fermentation takes place in steel vats and oak barrels. Refinement in the bottle for over 24 months follows.
