Monte Rossa Franciacorta Flamingo Rosè Brut Magnum

Monte Rossa Franciacorta Flamingo Rosè Brut Magnum is a vibrant, fashion-forward expression of Franciacorta that captures the glamor and energy of a night in Las Vegas—bottled with Italian finesse. Crafted from Pinot Nero and Chardonnay, this rosé sparkling wine is all about elegance, playfulness, and pure drinking pleasure on a grand magnum scale. A reimagining of the historic PR Rosé Brut that helped build Monte Rossa’s reputation, Flamingo brings a modern, stylish twist to one of Franciacorta’s benchmark pink bubbles.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Flamingo Rosè Brut shows a luminous, delicate pink hue with fine, persistent bubbles and a refined bead—exactly what you hope to see from high-quality traditional-method bubbles. The nose is inviting and expressive, with notes of wild strawberries, pomegranate, pink grapefruit, and redcurrant layered over hints of rose petals, pastry, and soft brioche from extended aging on the lees. On the palate, this Franciacorta is dry, crisp, and finely textured, with Pinot Nero bringing red-fruited depth and subtle spice, while Chardonnay contributes freshness, finesse, and lift. Expect juicy red berries, citrus zest, and a touch of stone fruit, backed by a chalky, mineral edge and a creamy mousse that feels both luxurious and refreshing. The finish is long, clean, and mouthwatering, making it dangerously easy to return to the glass. In magnum format, Flamingo Rosè Brut tends to age more slowly and harmoniously, showing beautifully now but also capable of developing extra complexity over the next 3–5 years under good cellaring conditions.

Production
The grapes for Monte Rossa Flamingo Rosè Brut are sourced from carefully selected vineyard parcels in the rolling morainic hills of Franciacorta in Lombardy, where glacial soils rich in stones, sand, and clay give natural freshness and mineral tension to the wines. Vines benefit from a mild climate moderated by nearby Lake Iseo and excellent drainage, ideal for Pinot Nero and Chardonnay destined for high-quality sparkling wine. Harvesting is carried out by hand to preserve bunch integrity and allow strict selection in the vineyard. The wine is produced using the traditional method (Metodo Classico), with an initial fermentation in temperature-controlled vessels—often partly in stainless steel and, for some components, neutral oak—to build complexity while preserving fruit purity. After blending the base wines, the rosé color is typically achieved through either short maceration on Pinot Nero skins or a precise addition of still Pinot Nero, followed by secondary fermentation in bottle. The wine then rests on its lees for an extended period, contributing fine bubbles, creamy texture, and subtle bakery notes before disgorgement and final dosage to achieve the Brut style.

Food & Serving
Flamingo Rosè Brut Magnum is a natural choice for celebrations and shared tables, particularly as an aperitif or throughout a meal of refined but relaxed dishes. It pairs beautifully with salmon tartare, tuna carpaccio, sushi and sashimi, charcuterie, and soft-ripened cheeses such as brie or taleggio. The bright acidity and red-fruit profile also complement Mediterranean starters, prawn or shellfish dishes, light poultry, and even gourmet pizza or tapas. Serve well-chilled at around 6–8°C (43–46°F) to highlight its freshness and delicacy. In magnum, a brief 10–15 minutes in the glass or in a decanter specifically designed for sparkling wines can help the aromas open up, but avoid vigorous decanting to preserve the fine mousse.
