Antica Fratta 'Essence Rose 2018' Brut Rose Franciacorta Lombardy

Winemaker Notes:  Crafted using the traditional Metodo Classico and aged on the lees for over 36 months, this rosé captivates with its luminous blush hue, fine perlage, and irresistible aromas of wild strawberries, citrus zest, and delicate florals. A harmonious blend of Chardonnay's finesse and Pinot Noir's depth, it delivers a crisp, creamy palate with a refined mineral finish.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "Fresh ripe peaches reveal a sorbet-like, soft and round texture on the palate. Gently nutty and toasty with a lot of fruit."


Wine Enthusiast - "Fresh and inviting, the nose of this wine opens the door wide open as aromas of Fuji apples, warmed lemons, jasmine and warmed hazelnuts rush out of the glass. The palate is structured with a tautness that alludes to its future. Orchard fruit, acacia honey and crushed shell mineral flavors are all brought together by the elegant perlage and crisp acidity of this wine."


Vinous - "The Brut Franciacorta Essence 2018 opens with an airy blend of crushed apples, raw almonds and white flowers. It is chiselled on the inside and captivates with its mineral bubbles, which slowly round off and sweeten over the course of the palate. Notes of vanilla custard and baked pear linger as the 2018 finishes with medium length and crisp refreshment."
