A Franciacorta rose’ ”millesimato” made from Pinot Nero grapes from a single vintage, vinified separately and left ageing on their own lees for at least 36 months, hence the word “millesimato” in the La Valle cellar in the heart of the Franciacorta wine region, and then blended. The result is an elegant Franciacorta Rose’, complex and rich, balanced, to be drunk as an aperitif with canapés or important fish dishes, such as salmon or trout.

La Valle winery, owned by the Pezzola family, is located in Rodengo Saiano in the heart of the picturesque hills of Franciacorta, just a few kilometres away from the beautiful Lake Iseo and Brescia in Lombardy. The winery was founded in 1990 by Eugenio and Giulia Pezzola and is currently run by their nephew, Stefano Camilucci. The Franciacorta is the Italian alternative to Champagne and the whole area enjoys a unique and rather extraordinary microclimate where they grow Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and Pinot Nero. In 1993, the first three thousand bottles of the millésime (a few bottles of which are still jealously guarded) were produced.
