Barone Pizzini Franciacorta Rosè Extra Brut Edizione 2022

Barone Pizzini Franciacorta Rosé Extra Brut Edizione 2022 is a vibrant, elegant expression of Franciacorta that combines the finesse of Pinot Noir with the freshness of Chardonnay. Sourced from Barone Pizzini’s wooded vineyards in Lombardy, it offers a distinctive profile shaped by meticulous craftsmanship and the region’s long tradition of méthode traditionnelle sparkling wine.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Rosé shows a bright, refined color with a lively, persistent mousse. The nose is expressive and layered, with woodland notes, currant and blackcurrant, and subtle hints of dark cherry that give it a cool, savoury edge. On the palate, it feels harmonious and finely structured, with a dense texture carried by a vibrant acidity and Extra Brut precision. The Pinot Noir brings depth and red-berry character, while the Chardonnay adds tension and lift. It has the balance and complexity to develop gracefully over a few years, though its appeal is immediate for those who enjoy a more restrained, gastronomic style of sparkling wine.

Production
This Franciacorta comes from Barone Pizzini’s organically farmed vineyards in Lombardy, where the wooded surroundings and cool climate help preserve freshness and aromatic detail. The blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay is harvested by hand and vinified with great care to express purity, structure, and the mineral-driven character of the terroir. As an Extra Brut style, it is crafted to emphasize tension, clarity, and precision rather than overt sweetness.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for oysters, shellfish, sushi, tuna tartare, smoked salmon, and delicate poultry dishes, this Rosé also works beautifully with creamy cheeses and refined antipasti. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C. Decanting is not necessary; simply open shortly before serving to let the wine’s aromas unfold in the glass.
