About this wine

Grapes

Reserve wines account for 35% of the blend, balanced with Chardonnay sourced from Monte Rossa crus.

Vinification

The wine ferments in stainless-steel tanks and oak barrels. It is then bottled for secondary fermentation.

Ageing

It remains on the lees for at least two years.

Tasting profile

The reserve wines contribute breadth and complexity, while the Chardonnay brings elegance.

Label / history

The wine was created for Monte Rossa’s 35th anniversary. “P.R.” combines the initials of founders Paola Rovetta and Paolo Rabotti. Rovetta pioneered winemaking in Franciacorta from the 1970s, while Rabotti promoted the region and founded the Franciacorta Consortium, serving as its first president.
