A first time trying a wine from the Franciacorta region. At first taste, suspected the time on its lees was longer than a year given the overall big bready character. Tart cherry flavor with long, bright, acidity on the palette. The rosé had a weighty mouthfeel that would work well paired with light appetizers or on its own. Will explore this region more.
