Cà del Bosco "Annamaria Clementi" Rosé 2015 - Franciacorta Rosè Riserva Extra Brut DOCG

A sound that is whispered, a tone that is hinted at, a perfume that is perceived. Perfection combines with the delicacy of balanced nuances in a Franciacorta rosé, from only pinot noir grapes, the result of the art of knowing how to recognize that ephemeral moment in which to separate the must from the macerating grapes. A moment to be seized to obtain the particular intense pink color and seven years of patient refinement for an aromatic perfume of extreme finesse. A supreme taste balance, a unique shade of pink, a very fine perlage, Cuvée Annamaria Clementi Rosé is a rare example of harmony and excellence, dedicated to the founder of Ca' del Bosco.

Winemaking
Annamaria Clementi Rosé is the maximum expression of pure Pinot Noir vinified in pink, in Ca' del Bosco style. It was born from the art of knowing how to assemble base wines coming from 3 historic vineyards and obtained with a short maceration of the grapes at a temperature of 14°C. Only a few hours to obtain that particular intense pink color and that aromatic profile of extreme finesse and harmony that will characterize Annamaria Clementi Rosé in the bottle. All the vinification phases of the different base wines take place in small oak barrels, obtained from selected wood and seasoned for at least 3 years, stored in deep cellars. Alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation and barrel aging last a total of 8 months. Annamaria Clementi Rosé is born from the selection of the best barrels. It is tapped by gravity and a pair of flying tanks transfer it by gravity, from the barrels to the assembly tank. At least a further 8 years of aging on the yeasts are needed to achieve that olfactory harmony and excellent taste balance that make Annamaria Clementi Rosé a supreme Franciacorta. Dégorgement takes place in the absence of oxygen, using a system unique in the world, designed and patented by Ca' del Bosco. This avoids oxidative shock and further additions of sulphites, making our Franciacorta purer, more pleasant and longer-lived. Finally, each packaged bottle is uniquely marked to ensure traceability.
