Bagnadore Riserva 2011 Rosè Az. Barone Pizzini

Rosé Sparkling wine

he 2011 is the best vintage since my adventure in the wine world began in 1994, but I am not the only one with this conviction: "The spring was warmer than the historical average for the period while the summer was cool and rainy and provided an ideal alternation between warm temperatures during the day and cool temperatures at night. Slow ripening accompanied by mild temperatures and good daily temperature fluctuations, which were favorable for the synthesis and accumulation of the precursors of aromatic compounds, proved to be an excellent prerequisite for obtaining wines of excellent quality. The acid composition and concentration of the product banno also recorded ideal conditions and gave the vintage prerogatives of special value, with a great balance of aromas and intense aroma." This is the picture of the Franciacorta Consortium, which attributes the same quality to very few other vintages in the last 30 years: the 1995, The 1997 and the 2005. When we realized the real possibility of making an extraordinary selection, any worries about the continuity of subsequent vintages were overcome by the decision to create the Bagnadore Rosé, an "off-program" Reserve. No one at this point will begrudge us if the 2020 vintage is next: any future selection will be the result of only one criterion, exceptionalism.
