Cuvèe 60 Extra Brut Rosè Casa Caterina

Cuvée 60 Extra Brut Rosé: elegance balanced between strength and finesse

The Cuvée 60 Extra Brut Rosé by Casa Caterina is one of the rarest and most distinctive labels crafted by the Del Bono family, true masters of the Metodo Classico with a radical and natural approach. This long-aged rosé sparkling wine, made from biodynamically grown Pinot Noir grapes, is a refined interplay of intensity and grace, power and precision, passion and restraint.

In the vineyard: pure Pinot Noir and untouched nature

Grapes come exclusively from Pinot Noir vineyards located in the hills of Monticelli Brusati, Franciacorta, cultivated under certified biodynamic practices. The vines are tended manually without any synthetic chemicals, and yields are deliberately kept very low to encourage aromatic concentration and optimal phenolic ripeness. Harvesting is done by hand, with strict selection of the best bunches.

In the cellar: a no-compromise vision

After harvest, the grapes are gently pressed, and fermentation begins spontaneously in stainless steel tanks. The cuvée is assembled with utmost precision, and the second fermentation in bottle, following the Traditional Method, is followed by an extended lees aging of over 60 months. The dosage at disgorgement is minimal (Extra Brut) to preserve purity and allow the wine to speak for itself without sugar masking.

Tasting profile: a rosé of depth, energy, and allure

In the glass, it shows a refined antique pink hue and extremely fine bubbles. The nose reveals aromas of wild red berries, pomegranate, candied citrus, pink pepper, medicinal herbs, and subtle notes of pastry. On the palate, it is savory, vibrant, fresh, and vertical, with a long, mineral-driven finish. A complex and dynamic rosé that combines body and lift with impeccable precision.
