The 2008 Franciacorta Brut Rose offers a beautifully delicate bouquet and a delicately pale pink color to match. The wine offers a full range of aromas that include baked baguette, dried cranberry, lemon zest, blanched almond and pink grapefruit. The balanced acidity gives the wine a bright personality, but there’s enough structure on the close to drive the long finish. Drink: 2014-2020. Contadi Castaldi is one of the area’s most consistent producers of modern Franciacorta. Vittorio and Mariella Moretti founded the estate in the 1980s on the site of an abandoned brick factory. In fact, the underground cellars where the wines are now held once housed kilns for firing clay. Importer: Terra Moretti Trading USA; www.tmtrading-usa.com
