Bonfadini Franciacorta Aurora Rosé Millesimato 2015 DOCG

Manually harvesting the bunches of grapes in boxes in the first and second ten days of August.
Soft pressing of the whole grapes.
The Pinot Noir is vinified in pink, with brief contact of the skins with the must for a few hours in order to obtain its characteristic salmon-pink colour and aromatic finesse.

The first fermentation takes place mainly in temperature-controlled steel vats at 14-16 °C; part of the Pinot Noir ferments and matures in French oak barriques, contributing complexity and structure.

The second fermentation takes place in the bottle, with ageing on the lees for 40 months.
Final dosage of 3.5 g/L.

The Bonfadini winery was founded in 1956 with grandfather Giovanni, who had always been a direct grower in Franciacorta. Graziano, one of his 7 sons, inherited a love for the land and a desire to create something special with the grapes they had always grown. So in 1993 he took over his father's business and continued to cultivate the vineyards, selling the grapes to the big companies in Franciacorta.
