Vinification
Cuvée Prestige Rosé is made by separately vinifying Pinot Nero and Chardonnay grapes. Pinot Nero grapes are gravity-transferred into vats and briefly macerated for 24 to 48 hours. Just long enough to “capture the moment”, creating that special, delicate shade of pink that distinguishes Franciacorta Rosé when bottled. Afterwards the must, separated from the peels, ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The Chardonnay grapes are instead vinified the traditional way: after the bunches are pressed whole, the various portions of must are fermented separately in temperature- controlled stainless steel vats. After 8 months of refinement the “magic rite” of cuvée creation begins, blending the Pinot Nero and Chardonnay base wines. Maturing
in underground cellars at a constant temperature of 12 °C. |

Transition. More than a color, pink is like a suspended mood, a delicate transition from white to red in shades never quite one or the other. Franciacorta Rosé gives a magical sensation midpoint between two hues. The rosé color is obtained after brief maceration of red Pinot Nero grapes. Just a few hours are needed to get that special tint recalling springtime sunsets: you must seize the moment, an instant earlier it's too pale, an instant later it's too dark. And then a delicate blending with Chardonnay and slow, patient maturation. |
