L’Antica Fratta Essence Rosé 2016, disgorged in 2021, is a vintage Franciacorta rosé that expresses a mature, deep, and refined style, in which time plays a decisive role in shaping its aromatic and flavor profile. It is crafted from a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with the former imparting structure, tension, and character, while the latter adds elegance and finesse.
In the glass, it displays a pale pink color with salmon-colored highlights, accompanied by a fine, persistent perlage. On the nose, it offers a broad, layered bouquet featuring red fruits such as raspberry, red currant, and wild strawberry, followed by more complex nuances of bread crust, yeast, and light spicy notes—a sign of its long aging on the lees and the time that has elapsed since disgorgement.
On the palate, it is balanced and structured, with a fresh and dynamic attack supported by good acidity, which lends it momentum and verticality. The fruity notes blend with the more mature and evolved notes, creating a harmonious and complex profile. The finish is long, savory, and mineral, with a persistence that evokes both the initial freshness and the deeper sensations that have developed over time.
Overall, it is a rosé with great character—less immediate than younger, more fragrant versions, but offering greater depth and complexity. It pairs well throughout a meal thanks to its structure and its ability to complement even hearty dishes, while always maintaining balance and elegance.
