Le Marchesine has hit a steady stride with the 2012 Franciacorta Millesimato Brut Rosé. At its heart, this is a simple and refreshing Rosé sparkling wine. It offers layers of wild berry, cassis and bitter almond. As the wine warms in the glass, it begins to show preserved lemon and tangerine skin. The perlage is soft and creamy. Chardonnay and Pinot Nero are blended in equal parts and the wine is aged on the lees for 42 months.
