Franciacorta Rosé Magnum Elisabetta Abrami

The Franciacorta Rosé by Elisabetta Abrami is a label that well represents the territory of Provaglio d'Iseo, among the most suited in the entire area of the denomination for the cultivation of Pinot Noir. The cuvée, in fact, is made with a significant percentage of the dark-skinned Burgundy grape, integrated with a share of Chardonnay. Like all rosés, it is a Metodo Classico with good structure and aromatic richness, expressing pleasant notes of small red berries, supported by a clear vein of mineral freshness, which constitutes the stylistic hallmark of the Franciacorta territory. Due to these particular characteristics, it is a very gastronomic sparkling wine, which pairs well with seafood appetizers, cold cuts, shrimp risotto, and pasta with scampi.

The Rosé Franciacorta by Elisabetta Abrami is the result of careful organic cultivation of highly suited vineyards, located in a particularly cool and ventilated area. The ideal climate and the predominantly very draining morainic nature of the soils have proven to be particularly suitable for the needs of the classic grapes of Champagne. The vineyards of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are cultivated in the hilly area that rises towards the relief of Monte Cognolo, near Lake Iseo. The manual harvest takes place during the month of August, and the grapes are pressed separately by grape variety in a very gentle manner, with a brief contact with the skins. The must is vinified in white in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and in oak barriques. After a period of aging, the base wines are blended, and the second fermentation occurs in the bottle according to the Metodo Classico with a stay on the lees of at least 24 months before disgorgement.

Franciacorta Rosé is one of the most important labels of the Elisabetta Abrami winery, a pure expression of the territory of origin and its principal grape: Pinot Noir. Of a beautiful light and bright pink color, it showcases a fine and continuous perlage. It seduces the nose with delicate aromas of raspberry, red currant, sour cherry, wild strawberries, floral nuances, and ripe citrus. Harmonious and soft, it delivers fragrant and crunchy fruity aromas, intense and rich, leading to a fresh and pleasantly persistent finish.
