Wijnbeschrijving | This is one of the sparkling wines which have made the history of Fontanafredda. Named after Countess Rosa Mirafiori, the morganatic wife of King Victor Emmanuel II, and mother of Emmanuel Guerrieri of Mirafiori who founded the company in 1878, it has been produced on the estate since the 1940s. Made from grapes grown at an altitude that allows them to ripen slowly, producing very particular aromas, it matures on the lees for at least 3 years prior to dégorgement. In the glass its straw-yellow colour is tinged with green, and it has a very persistent perlage. Very intense and complex on the nose, its bouquet conjures up mainly wildflower honey and spices, with hints of toasted nuts and breadcrumbs. The structure of the pinot noir shows through on the palate, merging beautifully with the fragrance of the chardonnay. Long, lingering finish, with fresh, savoury sensations. |
