Description
An elegant woman, her face lit with a slight smile… how can we not help thinking of Mona Lisa or Lady with an Ermine by Leonardo da Vinci and the many Italian portraits of women in the 1500s. A perfect balance of the elements, including, art, culture, nature. Compared with the very elegant original sketch, made on a wooden board, we just added a few touches of gold foil into the perlage, as beams of light that let us predict all the fine liveliness of its content.
A traditional method, made from Pinot Nero grapes cultivated on high hillsides, that summarises in the glass the Donnafugata philosophy. With delicate nuances of fruits and spices, this Brut Rosé is a sparkling wine of extraordinary elegance, the result of tailor-made production in very limited quantities.
With an antique pink color, this Brut Rosé is characterised by an elegant and distinct bouquet. It offers tertiary notes of bread crust combined with delicate fruity hints (pink grapefruit) and spices. In the mouth it combines freshness and good structure, with a pleasant return of fruity sensations and a savoury vein with long persistence.
HARVEST:
Pinot Noir manual harvesting into crates was carried out with careful selection of the grapes on the highest vineyards during the first week of August.
WINEMAKING AND AGING:
Once the grapes reach the winery, they undergo further selection on a vibrating table before soft pressing. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at around 15-16°C. Second fermentation in the bottle follows. After tirage the Rosé ages for 36 months on the lees.
