    Winemaker Notes

    Very classic color, ranging from coral to light salmon, the bubbles are rather fast, abundant and continuous. The red grapes clearly express plum, cherry, wild black fruits such as blueberry and mulberry. Typical characters of vegetable and spicy come out before closing with fresher, citrus notes. The palate is balanced and delicate. Acidity and flavor are well-balanced by an enveloping alcohol content. The finish of red fruit and small berries is evident, with a good spiciness and a hint of licorice.

    Le Marchesine Le Marchesine Vineyards Winery Image

    Le Marchesine is a wine company in Franciacorta that has been managed by the Biatta family for five generations. Today, it’s a dynamic enterprise that is considered one of the most renowned in its region. While at its conception it was composed of three hectares, Marchesine now spans 47 hectares of vineyards. The business has always distinguished itself for its innovative cultivation methods, abandoning the pergola system in favor of the importation of advanced French techniques. 

    The strength of the business resides in various decisions made in order to create the best products possible, for example respecting the raw materials that the region offers and employing only the most cutting-edge of technology. 

    Besides a careful selection of the best cuttings to plant and the use of the same Pinot Noir and Chardonnay strains used in France, the philosophy of Le Marchesine is focused on its own innovative technology. Prime examples include its wine cellar’s mechanized pupitres (giropallets) and the weather sheds set up in the vineyards. 

    Le Marchesine boasts a decades plus long relationship with the Champagne region and its Enology Institute of Champagne, of which the company’s enologist Jean Pierre Valade is a member. 

    The true gem of the Franciacorta production is exemplified by the Secolo Novo “trilogy”: Brut Millesimato, Riserva Brut Nature Giovanni Biatta and Riserva Dosage Zéro. They are the fruits of patience and dedication, born of a controlled fermentation at 17/18° with selected yeasts, vinified only in great vintages. The grapes used in this production hail from the most prestigious region of Franciacorta: the La Santissima hills.

    What are the different types of sparkling rosé wine?

    Rosé sparkling wines like Champagne, Prosecco, Cava, and others make a fun and festive alternative to regular bubbles—but don’t snub these as not as important as their clear counterparts. Rosé Champagnes (i.e., those coming from the Champagne region of France) are made in the same basic way as regular Champagne, from the same grapes and the same region. Most other regions where sparkling wine is produced, and where red grape varieties also grow, also make a rosé version.

    How is sparkling rosé wine made?

    There are two main methods to make rosé sparkling wine. Typically, either white wine is blended with red wine to make a rosé base wine, or only red grapes are used but spend a short period of time on their skins (maceration) to make rosé colored juice before pressing and fermentation. In either case the base wine goes through a second fermentation (the one that makes the bubbles) through any of the various sparkling wine making methods.

    What gives rosé Champagne and sparkling wine their color and bubbles?

    The bubbles in sparkling wine are formed when the base wine undergoes a secondary fermentation, which traps carbon dioxide inside the bottle or fermentation vessel. During this stage, the yeast cells can absorb some of the wine’s color but for the most part, the pink hue remains.

    How do you serve rosé sparkling wine?

    Treat rosé sparkling wine as you would treat any Champagne, Prosecco, Cava, and other sparkling wine of comparable quality. For storing in any long-term sense, these should be kept at cellar temperature, about 55F. For serving, cool to about 40F to 50F. As for drinking, the best glasses have a stem and a flute or tulip shape to allow the bead (bubbles) and beautiful rosé hue to show.

    How long do rosé Champagne and sparkling wine last?

    Most rosé versions of Prosecco, Champagne, Cava or others around the “$20 and under” price point are intended for early consumption. Those made using the traditional method with extended cellar time before release (e.g., Champagne or Crémant) can typically improve with age. If you are unsure, definitely consult a wine professional for guidance.

    Containing an exciting mix of wine producing subregions, Lombardy is Italy’s largest in size and population. Good quality Pinot noir, Bonarda and Barbera have elevated the reputation of the plains of Oltrepò Pavese. To its northeast in the Alps, Valtellina is the source of Italy’s best Nebbiolo wines outside of Piedmont. Often missed in the shadow of Prosecco, Franciacorta produces collectively Italy’s best Champagne style wines, and for the fun and less serious bubbly, find Lambrusco Mantovano around the city of Mantua. Lugana, a dry white with a devoted following, is produced to the southwest of Lake Garda.
