Good to know
Il Mosnel, established by the Tazzoli family in 1963, ranks among Franciacorta’s pioneers, with vineyards on morainic soils that impart mineral depth. The rosé gains its hue from brief skin contact with Pinot Noir, followed by traditional secondary fermentation in bottle.
Tasting notes
- Nose: Delicate red berry aromas of strawberry and raspberry mingle with white flowers, citrus zest, and subtle brioche from lees aging.
- Palate: Vibrant entry of tart cherry and green apple, layered with creamy texture, fine minerality, and a touch of almond; balanced acidity drives lively fruit.
- Finish: Crisp and persistent, with lingering red fruit and a dry, saline echo.
Notable details
- Production: Metodo classico; bottle-fermented, non-dosage brut style for purity.
- Lineage: From Il Mosnel estate in Gussago, core to Franciacorta’s rise as Italy’s answer to Champagne.
- Comparison: Shares structural poise with Ca’ del Bosco Rosé but with Il Mosnel’s earthier edge.
- Availability: Widely distributed, consistent vintage expression.
Closing
A versatile aperitif sparkling that elevates any occasion with refined Italian poise.
