Franciacorta Extra Brut Rosé Riserva Cuvee Annamaria Clementi 2016

Description

Harmony. A sound that is whispered, a tone that is hinted at, a scent that is perceived. Perfection combines with the delicacy of balanced nuances in a Franciacorta rosé, made solely from pinot noir grapes, the result of the art of knowing how to recognise that ephemeral moment in which to separate the must from the macerating grapes. A moment to be seized in order to obtain the particular intense pink colour and seven years of patient ageing for an aromatic bouquet of extreme finesse. A supreme balance of taste, a unique nuance of pink, a very fine perlage, Cuvée Annamaria Clementi Rosé is a rare example of harmony and excellence, dedicated to the founder of Ca' del Bosco.

Ca' del Bosco is the mainstay of the Franciacorta terroir. The Ca' del Bosco wineries were founded in the mid-1960s by Annamaria Clementi Zanella, who bought a modest house of the same name in Erbusco, which was endowed with vineyards and woods. However, her son, Maurizio Zanella, started wine production, enhancing the terroir's characteristics and transforming that small house into one of Italy's most productive wineries. In fact, these cellars are distinguished for producing the famousCa' del Bosco sparkling wine, which is characterised by its elegant yet strong personality given by intense, juicy aromas and fullness of flavour. Today Ca' del Bosco is a well-established business, producing numerous labels, including still wines, both red and white, and Franciacorta for which Xtrawine has reserved a place of honour. You can choose from bottles of the best vintages from 2008 with an ageing capacity of between 15 and 25 years that will bring out the best in all your dishes: from pasta to fish and shellfish to dessert, the fruity notes will envelop your palate with every sip.

Harvest	Second half of August
Wine making	Born from the art of knowing how to blend 4 different base wines from 3 Vineyards obtained by macerating the grapes for 36 hours inside the vats at a temperature of 14°C. Only a few hours to obtain that particular intense pink colour and that aromatic profile of extreme finesse and harmony that will characterise the Annamaria Clementi Rosé in the bottle.All the vinification phases of the 4 base-wines took place separately in small oak barrels, stored in underground cellars at a constant temperature of 13°C.
Aging	Alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation and barrel ageing lasted a total of 7 months. During the following two weeks, blending and bottling took place. A further 7 years of ageing on the lees in underground cellars at a constant temperature of 12°C were needed to achieve that olfactory harmony and excellent taste balance that make Cuvée Annamaria Clementi Rosé a supreme Franciacorta.
