Franciacorta DOCG Rose Extra Brut Castello di Gussago

Franciacorta DOCG Rosé Extra Brut Castello di Gussago is an effervescent gem from the heart of Franciacorta. This area is renowned for producing sparkling wines of the highest caliber thanks to its temperate climate and soils rich in limestone and clay, ideal conditions for growing superior grapes. This fine wine is composed mainly of Pinot Noir grapes, with a touch of Chardonnay, harvested from sunny vineyards that allow for excellent ripeness. Strictly adhering to the rules of the Franciacorta DOCG specification, the harvest takes place in August followed by gentle pressing of the grapes and fermentation of the must in temperature-controlled stainless steel. Next, the wine is bottled with yeast and sugar to trigger the second fermentation, during which the wine acquires its characteristic bubbles and develops a bouquet of complex aromas and flavors. After a careful remuage process, which causes the yeasts to settle on the cork, dégorgement is completed to remove the yeasts and the final cork. The result is a Rosé Extra Brut wine of supreme elegance, with a delicate and persistent perlage. The aroma is an explosion of red fruits, flowers and notes of yeast, while the palate is fresh, dry and well balanced. Perfect paired with fish, shellfish and white meat dishes, or simply as an aperitif, Franciacorta DOCG Rosé Extra Brut Castello di Gussago is a true jewel of Italian oenology.
