Finely structured Rosé Millesimato with elegance and depth – the essence of time in every sip. The cuvée of predominantly Chardonnay with a proportion of Pinot Nero reveals its perfection after a long lees contact. Delicate old rose colour in the glass with a subtle perlage. The bouquet combines fine aromas of red berries, particularly redcurrant and raspberry, with delicate brioche and almond notes and a hint of dried rose. On the palate, it impresses with juicy fruit, lively acidity and elegant creaminess. The perlage is subtle, the finish dry, precise and persistent with a slightly salty length. A rosé that is powerful and subtle at the same time – noble, classic, with very good balance. Ideal with salmon, tuna carpaccio, tender veal or as an aperitif. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, brilliant salmon pink with fine bubbles. Delicate yeasty notes open on the nose, followed by small wild berries and crisp apple, with a touch of maquis behind. Direct and gripping on the palate, with rich mousseux, thrilling tension, concentrated fruit, concludes with sea salt." Falstaff

"The 2021 Franciacorta Rosé Essence is distinctly savory as white strawberries blend with notes of stone dust and spice. It is sharply focused, with a citrus twang upfront that elevates its tart orchard fruits. This leaves a pleasant inner sweetness and a mouth-watering finish lingering with a cherry resonance." Vinous
