TASTING NOTES TASTING NOTES
It is the first wine of the company, the most widespread and represents the visiting card of Monte Rossa. Prima Cuvèe is obtained with Chardonnay and Pinot Nero grapes with a small percentage of Pinot Bianco. It stands out for its simplicity which translates into finesse, immediacy, pleasantness, fundamental characteristics for a quality Franciacorta. This cuvée is made up of 19 crus spread over 70 hectares of vineyards strategically distributed in the heart of Franciacorta. The harvest is done manually with the harvesting of the grapes in boxes. These, once brought to the cellar, are placed in a pneumatic press, which guarantees a soft pressing. Each cru is processed and vinified in purity. Part of the musts is vinified in steel vats at a controlled temperature while the rest is vinified in oak barrels. The base wine is now ready to be bottled with 20% reserve wine, and from here begins the second fermentation. 24 months of bottle aging and a low dosage are the key to obtaining this iconic Franciacorta Brut. In the glass it has a bright straw yellow color with an intense and persistent perlage. The nose is characterized by subtle notes of yeast, a lot of cheese crust, slightly creamy toast. On the palate it is complex and layered, with a long persistence, and a characteristic finish that seems salty.

Monte Rossa Winery is one of the oldest and most prestigious wineries in the Franciacorta area. In this area, the farming tradition has merged in harmony with technology, while the craftsmanship and the constant research for excellence are managed with commitment and entrepreneurial mentality. In 1972 the entrepreneur Paolo Rabotti and his wife Paola embarked on the path of viticulture. This choice, inspired and far-sighted, is now carried out with enthusiasm and innovation by their son Emanuele. The history of Monte Rossa winery is characterized by winning decisions: they were the first to abandon the production of still wines searching for excellence, they invested with determination in technology, they carried out research and experimentation. Today Monte Rossa consists of 70 hectares of vineyards and the characteristics of the land allow to expand the heritage of the grapes, so as to compose cuvées rich in structure and complexity. The winery's production is around 500,000 bottles per year.
