Grapes fermented separately and then blended before bottling. The wine is very smooth and in total balance. It has a creamy texture and a long finish. You get notes of strawberry and other red fruits and also delicate red flowers. It has great acidity. Drink now or in the next 4 years. This is clearly a winner and wonderful value.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Franciacorta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44122211352710,"sku":"SUNRISE-fratta-rose-19","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/0338\/0543\/products\/anticafrattarose.jpg?v=1678913046","url":"https:\/\/www.winesolutions.com\/products\/antica-fratta-franciacorta-essence-rose-brut-2019","provider":"Wine Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
