Description
What kind of wine it is
Franciacorta Brut Rosé by Ferghettina is a Traditional Method wine made from Pinot Noir grapes. In the glass, it displays a pale pink colour and a fine, persistent perlage. On the nose, notes of blackberry and raspberry emerge, with hints of leavened dough. The palate is creamy and lively, with pronounced savouriness. The sip is persistent, with a citrusy finish and an elegant mineral touch.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from fourteen vineyards located in four municipalities of Franciacorta. The vines grow at an altitude of 250 metres, trained using the Guyot system with a density of five thousand vines per hectare. The low yield ensures optimal ripeness and expressiveness of the Pinot Noir, reflecting Ferghettina's rigorous approach.
How it is produced
After manual harvesting, the whole bunches are pressed with the ancient Marmonnier press to extract the free-run must. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel. As required by the Traditional Method, the wine undergoes 36 months of ageing on the lees. The carefully measured Brut dosage of three grams per litre enhances the palate's cleanliness and defines the wine's decisive final structure.

He worked there for more than 20 years, mastering the viticulture of Franciacorta and the most modern winemaking techniques. In 1991, he and his wife Andreina took over the management of four hectares of land and a real estate located in Erbusco, where they soon created a wine cellar. After the harvest of 1991, Roberto presented his first two wines: a Terre di Franciacorta red wine and a white one.
Ferghettina was born, taking down the name of the area where the winery was built. The following year Roberto produced his first Franciacorta, a brut that’s still the strongest suit of the winery. Since then, Ferghettina has expanded significantly. As Roberto was held in high esteem in Franciacorta, he rented many plots of land to plant vines according to high-quality standards of viticulture.
Nowadays, we run 200 hectars of vineyards located in 11 municipalities of Franciacorta, conforming to organic farming principles, in order to exploit the resources of the different soils as fully as possible, to enhance the quality of our wines. Ferghettina is a family matter: everything is managed by Roberto and Andreina, with the help of their children Laura and Matteo, both graduated in oenology, and of a large number of employees and partners.
