Description
It is made in the best vintages only from carefully selected grapes from the oldest and best exposed vineyards on the estate. It is made from 95 per cent Chardonnay grapes and 5 per cent reserve wine. The must is fermented partly in steel tanks and partly in oak barrels. The maturing on the lees lasts for over 30 months. This procedure produces a Franciacorta with a strong personality. To emphasise its biting character, it has been called Salvàdek: a Brescian dialect term meaning wild.

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
