Home Sparkling Wines Wines Ferghettina Rosé Brut, Franciacorta DOCG

Ferghettina

Strawberries, redcurrants and brioche aromas, with sweet berry characters, savoury flavours and a delicate, persistent mousse.

Producer Information

Situated in the southern half of Lombardy on the edge of the town of Adro, just south of Lake Iseo, the majority of plantings are Chardonnay (approx. 70%) along with Pinot Noir (and just 4ha of Pinot Blanc for their still wines).

They now have 200ha of vineyard across 11 different villages, mostly at 250-300m altitude. Each vineyard confers a unique character on the resulting base wine, giving Roberto a broad spectrum of styles to blend for each cuvée. It is this skilful blending, meticulous attention to detail and long bottle maturation that give Ferghettina`s wines great finesse and individuality.

Wine Making

The Gatti family manage 120 hectares of vineyards in six localities within the DOC. Sunny rolling hills, at the foot of the Alps, ensure well ripened grapes. The alcoholic fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tank at controlled temperature between 16 and 18°C with selected yeasts. The wine spends 12-24 hours on the skins to extract the natural pink colour (red wine is not added). Tirage takes place in spring time of the following year. The wine is aged on lees for 36 months. Dosage is 4 grams/litre of sugar.

Tasting Note

Strawberries, redcurrants and brioche aromas, with sweet berry characters, savoury flavours and a delicate, persistent mousse.

Food Matching

Delightful with shellfish, mozzarella and vine-ripened tomato salads, or a range of dim sum.
