Description
Type of wine
Uberti Franciacorta Rosé Brut Francesco I is a Traditional Method sparkling wine with a fresh and fragrant profile. Crafted from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, it presents a pale pink colour, an abundant mousse and a refined, persistent perlage. The bouquet releases notes of raspberry, strawberry and cyclamen, touched by hints of vanilla sugar. On the palate, it offers a fruity and floral taste, structured and with excellent purity, supported by a pleasant minerality.
Where it comes from
This wine is born in Franciacorta, from the Uberti vineyards located in the municipalities of Erbusco, Adro and Cazzago San Martino. The vines are rooted in hilly soils of morainic origin, rich in stones and minerals, dry and always well-ventilated. These soil and climate characteristics give the wine a decisive tension and a marked minerality, ensuring perfect aromatic precision and great overall cleanliness.
How it is produced
After careful selection, a portion of the Pinot Noir undergoes maceration on the skins to extract colour and character. The base wines are vinified in steel tanks before the blend is assembled. Following the tirage, the second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the rules of the Traditional Method, with ageing for over thirty months on the lees which gives the wine great structure and complexity. The process concludes with disgorgement and a further six months of resting before being released onto the market.
