Brut Rosé Marchese Antinori

In 1999, the Antinori family’s centuries-old winemaking tradition joined forces with that of the Counts Maggi to manage the vineyards of the Tenuta Montenisa in the heart of Franciacorta and produce labels of absolute prestige such as Cuvée Royale, Contessa Maggi, Conte Aino, Blanc de Blancs and Rosé. The hills on which the flourishing vineyards extend are those around the wonderful village of Calino, linked for centuries to the Counts Maggi, a hamlet of Cazzago San Martino in the province of Brescia, where the Chardonnay, Pinot Nero and Pinot Bianco vines have been grown for years, the basis of the production of Franciacorta. The best grapes are carefully selected and processed in the historic cellars of the Tenuta, where the art of winemaking is reflected in the grandeur of the centuries-old context, guardian of great traditions. From here come excellent wines that rest for a long time on the lees to maximize personality and elegance.

The Brut Rosé by Marchese Antinori is a sparkling wine of great elegance and refinement, produced with Pinot Noir grapes from the Tenuta Montenisa estate, located in the heart of Franciacorta. The long stay on the lees gives this sparkling wine a remarkable aromatic complexity and structure. The grapes are hand-picked and softly pressed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The base wine is then made sparkling according to the Classic Method, with a second fermentation in the bottle that lasts at least 24 months.

Pale cherry pink color, with fine and persistent perlage, intense and complex aroma, with notes of small red fruits (wild strawberries, raspberries, currants), dried wild flowers and bread crust, fresh, balanced and harmonious flavor, with a good structure and a long aromatic persistence. It pairs perfectly with meat appetizers, fish-based first courses, white meat-based second courses and desserts based on berries but it is also interesting to pair it with medium-bitter chocolate.
