APPEARANCE:
|
Soft, dense, foamy mousse, with a long-lasting delicate cordon around the glass, and a long-lingering bead of fine, pin-point bubbles. Intense salmon-pink, which varies according to the vintage, due to the different ripeness levels of phenolic compounds in the Pinot Noir |
|
AROMA:
|
Elegant notes of wild berry-fruit and other ripe fruits, well melded with subtle nuances of yeast and crusty bread. Heady, warm quality from the brief maceration of Pinot Noir on the skins during vinification |
|
PALATE:
|
Refined and elegant, exhibiting exceptional acidity and body. Acidity is well-balanced by the medium dosage |
|

The perfect aperitif, it will also pair well with various kinds of cold meats and charcuterie, full-flavoured first courses and fully aged cheeses. Pairing it with shellfish enhances its impressive structure |

CRITIC REVIEWS
| Robert Parker | 90/100 |

The NV Franciacorta '61 Brut Rosé (disgorged in 2017) represents a nicely balanced blend of 60% Pinot Nero and 40% Chardonnay aged in the bottle on the lees for 24 months. Some 140,000 bottles were produced. This is a delicate but festive wine that shows a steady succession of small berry, lilac and floral aromas. There's a refreshing kick of acidity on the close.
