TASTING NOTES
Flamingo is the new release of one of the Franciacorta wines that have made history and contributed to the success of Monte Rossa, the Rosé Brut. This cuvée is made up of 12 crus spread over 70 hectares of vineyards strategically distributed in the heart of Franciacorta. The harvest is done manually with the harvesting of the grapes in boxes. These, once brought to the cellar, are placed in a pneumatic press, which guarantees a soft pressing. Each cru is processed and vinified in purity. Part of the musts is vinified in steel vats at a controlled temperature while the rest is vinified in oak barrels. The base wine is now ready to be bottled with 15% reserve wine, and from here begins the second fermentation. 24 months of bottle aging and a low dosage are the key to obtaining this very savory and fresh Franciacorta Rosé, with a fine and persistent perlage and a decidedly long finish. The slightly coppery pink color is sparkling thanks to the fine and persistent perlage. The nose gives notes of berries and violets embellished with slightly spicy and warm hints.
