Vintage details

The most recent vintages of Franciacorta Extra Brut Rosé DOCG - Muratori are characterized by balanced climatic conditions, with warm but not excessive summers and an alternation of sunny days and cool nights. This allowed the grapes to ripen slowly, maintaining remarkable acidic freshness and developing intense and harmonious aromas. Low yields per hectare guarantee high-quality, concentrated, and aromatic raw material.

Vinification and aging

Vinification takes place according to the classic method, meaning with secondary fermentation in the bottle. To achieve the rosé color, the saignée method or a short maceration on the Pinot Noir skins is used, to extract the right degree of pigment and the typical aromatic component of red fruits without weighing down the wine. After the secondary fermentation, the wine ages for 24 months on its lees, developing complex aromas and an extraordinary finesse on the palate. The Extra Brut dosage (with very little residual sugar) enhances its purity and freshness.
