Castello di Gussago La Santissima, Rosé, Franciacorta, 2012

Grapes grown using biological viticultural methods are fermented in stainless steel tanks, then the wine is aged on its lees in bottle for 30 months. This delicate pink fizz has a beautiful red fruit character with a lip-smacking raspberry acidity. Fresh and vibrant, the lees give it a softness that works so well against the near-tartness of the fruit. A pure expression.
