Franciacorta DOCG Brut Rosé 2018 Derbusco Magnum

Franciacorta DOCG Brut Rosé 2018 Derbusco MAGNUM is a classic method wine of great personality signed by Derbusco Cives Franciacorta, made from 100% Pinot Noir. The choice of the first pressing, the brief maceration, and the long aging on the lees contribute to defining an elegant, deep rosé with great taste tension. The magnum format further enhances the wine's evolution and its ability to express itself with greater breadth and continuity over time.

Territory and wine style

This Franciacorta DOCG accurately interprets a refined and contemporary style, where the character of Pinot Noir meets the complexity typical of bottle fermentation. The long aging of at least 54 months on the lees provides greater depth, finesse, and persistence, while the partial fermentation of the base wine in barriques adds layers of complexity without overshadowing the varietal profile. The result is a rosé with direct charm, but also structure, designed for those seeking a fine Italian wine that combines aromatic intensity and precision.
