The 2013 Franciacorta Millesimato Brut Rosé (disgorged in 2018) is one of those pink sparkling wines that looks so beautiful when poured into the glass. The wine's luminous appearance is magnified by the shiny gleam of its soft perlage. This is a 50/50 blend of Pinot Nero and Chardonnay aged on the lees for 42 months. That's just enough yeast contact to build the wine's texture and those lasting flavors of stone fruit, wild berry and baked bread. Some 40,000 bottles were made.
