Sparkling Franciacorta Rosé Millesimato ARTIO DOCG Le Marchesine

Description of the wine

From the vinification in blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. The origin is the classic one of the DOCG area in which the Le Marchesine di Biatta Giovanni & agricultural company operates. C. in the Passirano combine, in the province of Brescia. The harvest takes place with the selection in the vineyard of the best grapes which are harvested manually in boxes of maximum 18 kg. The vinification takes place in white in a pneumatic press with soft pressing of the whole grapes and separation of the 1st and 2nd fraction. The Pinot Noir must undergoes a light maceration for approximately 6 hours, before being blended with the Chardonnay. After static and physical separation from the impurities of the must at low temperatures, selected yeasts are inoculated for fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. This is followed by decanting and lowering the temperature to around 10°C to avoid malolactic fermentation. Once the "draft syrup" has been added, it is bottled, capped with a crown cap and laid down in a stack for secondary fermentation. This is followed by refinement in the bottle for a minimum of 36 months.
