Monte Rossa Franciacorta P.R. Blanc De Blancs Brut

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.

From this winery

• Start up year: 1972
• Oenologist: Emanuele Rabotti
• Bottles produced: 500.000
• Hectares: 70

A long-established winery in Franciacorta where rural traditions merge harmonically with technology and where craftsmanship and a passionate search for excellence are carried out with never-daunting commitment and entrepreneurial spirit. It was in 1972 that businessman Paolo Rabotti, with the precious support of his wife Paola, undertook the task of wine-growing. An inspired far-seeing choice continued with enthusiasm and innovative spirit by their son Emanuele.

The history of Monte Rossa is starred by strategically winning decisions such as being first to abandon still wines to search for excellence in Franciacorta, or the determination to invest in technology, or again the continuous research and experimentation distinguishing this winery.

Today the Monte Rossa Company manages 70 hectars of vineyards. The different locations of cru on plots with different exposition contribute to increase the aromatic richness of grapes in such a way to make up very rich cuvée under the frame and complexity aspect. The Company production is 500.000 bottles approx. per year. Read more
