Cuvée Imperiale · Max Rosè Franciacorta Extra Dry DOCG

  The Cuvée Imperial Max Rosè Franciacorta Extra Dry from Guido Berlucchi in Lombardy appears in the glass as a delicate, light rosé with subtle salmon-colored reflections that emphasize its fine and elegant perlage. The nose reveals an expressive bouquet of red fruits such as strawberries, raspberries, and cherries, harmoniously accompanied by floral nuances and a subtle hint of brioche, which is indicative of traditional bottle fermentation. The grapes come from the top vineyards of the Franciacorta region, whose calcareous soils, cool microclimate, and careful selection allow for exceptional freshness, complexity, and balance. Particularly noteworthy is the combination of the historic Champagne method and the expertise of the Berlucchi winery, which makes Franciacorta Rosé an elegant, full-bodied expression of its origin.

On the palate, Cuvée Imperial Max Rosé is lively, silky, and balanced, supported by a fine, persistent perlage that perfectly complements the fruity aromas. The balanced acidity gives the wine freshness and vitality, while the long, elegant finish highlights the mineral characteristics of the soil and the precision of the traditional method. This Extra Dry Franciacorta combines the lightness of a rosé with the finesse of a classic sparkling wine, reflecting the long tradition, quality, and terroir of Lombardy in a unique way in every bottle. - Gerardo [TS10/26]
