Description
A deeply-fragrant rosé whose crisp, graceful Chardonnay finds its delicious complement in the fruit-rich depth of Pinot Noir and the supple roundedness of Pinot Blanc. All the grapes are gently pressed, and the wine develops its harmonious character over more than 24 months of maturation on the lees.

Emanuela Barboglio developed this wine vocation by planting the first specialised vineyards and adopting the new DOC Franciacorta appellation in 1968.
In 1976 the name 'Azienda Agricola Barzanò Barboglio' was abandoned in favour of the current 'il Mosnel', a dialectal toponym of Celtic origin meaning 'pietraia' in Italian, i.e. a heap of stones, on which the company stands.
At the helm of Il Mosnel is the fifth generation of winegrowers, Emanuela Barboglio's sons: Giulio Barzanò takes care of the technical, production and commercial side; while Lucia Barzanò is in charge of marketing, external relations and administration. The family business is supported by a highly trained staff and experienced agronomists and oenologists who constantly follow production and its evolution. Read more
