Description
What kind of wine it is
Vezzoli Franciacorta Rosé Brut is a refined sparkling wine made using the Traditional Method that enhances the identity of Pinot Noir. It displays an intense rosé hue, a prelude to a clean and enveloping sensory profile. The bouquet is characterised by floral aromas that blend with lively notes of small red fruits. On the palate, it reveals a firm structure and good body, while maintaining the freshness typical of the Brut style. This wine has remarkable ageing potential and should be served at a temperature of 6-8 °C to appreciate its balance.
Where it comes from
This sparkling wine originates in the heart of Franciacorta, in Erbusco, Lombardy. In this renowned area, the Vezzoli winery enhances the unique features of the landscape through attentive viticulture. The cultivation of Pinot Noir in this environment allows for optimal grape ripening, which is essential for producing high-quality base wines. The production philosophy focuses on prolonged ageing, which gives the wine a pronounced aromatic harmony. The result is a faithful expression of the Lombard terroir, where rich flavours meet a pleasing stylistic precision.
How it is produced
Production begins with the selection of perfectly ripe Pinot Noir grapes. After pressing, a skin maceration of about three hours extracts the delicate rosé colour. Primary fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks for seven months, ensuring the purity of the base wine. The secondary fermentation follows the principles of the Traditional Method, followed by ageing on the lees for at least twenty-four months. This extended maturation enriches the structure and gives the Brut its distinctive fullness.
History and Curiosities
Born from the dedication of the Vezzoli family, active in Erbusco since 1994, this elegant sparkling wine embodies the excellence of the Franciacorta Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin. The vibrant rosé hue comes from a careful three-hour contact between the pure Pinot Noir must and skins. Under the expert guidance of oenologist Cesare Ferrari, vinification in steel culminates in a 24-month maturation on the lees according to the Traditional Method. The wine, awarded by Veronelli, expresses delicate floral notes and a structured palate.
