Ca'Del Bosco Ca'Del Bosco Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige Rosé Edizione 75cl

GRAPE VARIETY: 80% Pinor Nero, 20% Chardonnay

VINEYARD: Grapes are sourced from a range of vineyards with average ages of between twenty-two and thirty years, in the provinces of Erbusco, Adro, Cazzago San Martino, Corte Franca, Iseo and Passirano. The grapes were hand-harvested.

WINERY: After picking, the grapes are chilled and then go through a three stage cleaning and drying process before crushing. The Pinot Noir is then left on its skins for one to two days to extract colour, begore undergoing alcoholic germentation in oak casks and stainless steel tanks, whilst the Chardonnay is vinifed in the traditional manner. The base wines are then aged for seven months in tank, before blending. The resulting cuvee then undergoes secondary fermentation in bottle and maturation on its lees for thirty months, before being disgorged using a patented technique, in the absence of oxygen.

TASTING NOTE: This rose Granciacorta is surprisingly rich and textured beyond the up-front flavours of peach, apricot and crushed blueberry. Full-bodied and complex with a lingering, creamy finish.
