Franciacorta DOCG Rosé Brut QRosé 2019 Quadra

What kind of wine is it

QRosé Brut by Quadra is a Franciacorta produced in Lombardy from Pinot Nero and Chardonnay grapes. Classified as Franciacorta, this wine stands out for its fresh and vibrant profile. The winemaking process follows the Traditional Method, with secondary fermentation in the bottle and a long aging on the lees, a procedure that gives the style a structured, elegant, and precise character, making it suitable for various tasting occasions.

Where does it come from

The vineyards are located in the heart of Franciacorta, a hilly area of Lombardy renowned for its strong winemaking vocation. This denomination develops within gently rolling hills, with favorable exposures that promote the regular ripening of grapes used for rosé and white wines. Its central position within the region allows it to express a balanced style and highlights an aromatic precision consistent with the area's identity.

How is it produced

After harvesting, the grapes undergo a gentle pressing before being vinified in steel tanks to preserve the purity of the aromas. Part of the wine ages in barrels, which adds further depth to the organoleptic profile. The sparkling process takes place in the bottle in full compliance with the rules of the Traditional Method and is followed by aging on the lees for at least 45 months, which is fundamental for defining the finesse of the perlage.

Tasting notes

In the glass, the wine shows an antique pink color accompanied by a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, clear aromas of wild strawberry and citrus come to the fore, enriched by smoky undertones that add complexity. On the palate, the entry is fresh and vibrant, with a taut and well-defined progression that culminates in a long persistence and distinct citrus echoes.

Food pairings

At the table, this Franciacorta proves to be a suitable match for pizza, thanks to its flavor profile capable of balancing rich and savory toppings. It is equally well paired with dishes based on red meat and grilled white meat, where the freshness and persistence of the sip can adequately support the intense flavors resulting from grilling.

When to serve it

This wine delivers harmoniously during social gatherings and moments of sharing, being ideal both as an aperitif and to accompany a complete meal. The structure guaranteed by the long aging on the lees and its Traditional Method nature make it suitable whenever a taut, clean, and satisfying sip is desired. It is recommended to serve when you want to appreciate a great freshness and aromatic elegance in every sip.
