Description
It is Franciacorta, born to celebrate 35 years 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 first president. It is a Blanc de Blancs that is the result of a passionate search for harmony between the breadth, structure, complexity of the reserve wine (35%) and the elegance, persuasiveness and finesse typical of Chardonnay (65%) from the best crus that confirms the company's production philosophy, aimed at finding excellence not only in vintage wines but in its entire production.
