TASTING NOTES
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. Francicorta Rosé gives a magical sensation midpoint between two hues. The Rosé color is obtained after a 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. The ideal Franciacorta for momentous occasions. Especially the most romantic.
PAIRING NOTES
An elegant, aromatic aperitif, and an exciting companion on the table: from delicate seafood appetizers like salmon-tuna tartare, to spicy, exotic seasoning of Asian cuisines such as dumplings, spring rolls, fried chicken.
