Tenuta Montenisa Franciacorta Brut Rosé DOCG

A Franciacorta Brut Rosé from Tenuta Montenisa, first produced in 2006 to show what Pinot Noir can do in this appellation. It spends 24 months on the lees, the minimum time for the bread crust character of the second fermentation to meet the small red fruit typical of the grape. The colour is a pale cherry pink, with a creamy mousse and a fine, persistent bead. The nose shows dried wild flowers, small red fruits, yeast and bread crust. On the palate it is fresh, pleasantly structured and elegant, with good harmony and length. It works as an aperitif and with charcuterie starters, shellfish pasta, white meats and medium-aged cheeses.
