FRANCIACORTA ROSE' BRUT MAGNUM FERGHETTINA 2017
In Ferghettina we have made the squaring of the circle. It is the "square" bottle. Thanks to the particular shape of the bottle, designed and patented by Matteo, Roberto's son, Franciacortas aged on yeasts can benefit from a wine-yeast contact surface two and a half times higher than that of a round bottle. The side of the bottle, in fact, is flat inside so that the surface where the yeasts are deposited is wider. The result of this contact translates into a greater release of manno-proteins and yeast lysate which qualitatively enrich the wine in aromatic components.
Franciacorta Rosé produced with pinot noir grapes only, combines in its gustatory characteristics the power expression of the red berry variety and the elegance typical of Franciacortas. For the production of the rosé we select 14 vineyards located in 4 municipalities of Franciacorta. Whole cluster grapes are vinified with the use of the marmonnier press, an ancient pressing system that guarantees maximum respect for the characteristics of the pinot noir grape. Only the free-run juice is extracted from the press. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out in steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 16 and 18 ° C. The base wine rests in the tank until the spring following the harvest.
It has an antique pink color with a fine and persistent perlage. Very elegant aroma with notes of blackberry and raspberry. Excellent persistence and structure
