Tasting note
A historic sparkling wine from Fontanafredda, first made in the 1940s, named after Countess Rosa di Mirafiori. Made from Pinot noir using the "Talento" method, it matures for 3 years. Straw yellow, with fine, persistent perlage, a dry, balanced taste, and an intense bouquet of toasted nuts, clear and rich. Crisp, fresh, and full-flavored.
Vinification
The process is traditional, following the classic bottle-fermented method. Gentle pressing yields 50-52% must, fermented at 12°C. Bottled in spring post-harvest, with added yeast and 22g/l sugar, the wine ages three years to develop its bouquet. Contessa Rosa becomes 'Brut' with a final liqueur addition, rounding its taste and softening its fragrance.
Food Match
It makes for an excellent aperitif, but is above-all - on account of its personality and pleasing taste - a perfect way to accompany all dishes with class.
