Description
This is Franciacorta, created to celebrate 35 years of activity of Monte Rossa. Its name is a tribute to the founders of the company with the same initials: Paola Rovetta, a pioneer in Franciacorta since the 1970s, and her husband Paolo Rabotti, promoter and founder of the Franciacorta Consortium and its first president. It is a Blanc de Blancs, the result of a passionate search for harmony between the breadth, structure and complexity of the reserve wine (35%) and the elegance, persuasiveness and finesse typical of Chardonnay (65%) from the best crus, which confirms the winery's production philosophy, aimed at finding excellence not only in the vintage wines but in its entire production.
