The Rosé type is the richest and most structured within the range of sparkling wines made using the Classic Method, the most gastronomic and suitable for pairing with even important dishes at the table.

The delicate fruity aromas and floral nuances are accompanied by a rich body and lively freshness.
The Brut Rosé Franciacorta is born in the heart of this famous wine area, located south of Lake Iseo. The ancient glacial soils are made up of moraine hills rich in pebbles, very suitable for quality viticulture. The sunny and mild climate, also due to the presence of the lake, allows for excellent ripening of the grapes. Tenuta Montenisa became part of the properties of the Marchesi Antinori at the end of the 1990s, when the historic Tuscan family decided to invest in Franciacorta to expand the range of its wines also with Classic Method sparkling wines. The vineyards cover a total area of 60 hectares, divided into numerous parcels, cultivated with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Blanc. The great attention to vineyard management allows for the production of excellent grapes, an essential base for making great Classic Methods.
The Rosé Brut from the Tenuta Montenisa of the Marchesi Antinori is a pure Pinot Noir vinified as rosé with a short contact on the skins during pressing. The free-run must ferments in stainless steel tanks and after a short maturation, the base wines are blended into the final cuvée. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Classic Method, with a minimum aging on the lees of 24 months. The color is light pink, with a fine and continuous perlage. The bouquet expresses delicate notes of small red berry fruits, floral nuances, hints of citrus, pomegranate, notes of bread crust and fruit tart. On the palate, it has a good structure, with an expressive and juicy mid-palate. The finish is long and very fresh.
