The grapes are harvested early, generally towards the end of August, to preserve their natural freshness, acidity and aromatic intensity. Rosé vinification involves brief skin contact lasting approximately 2–3 hours, giving the wine its distinctive pale pink colour with delicate onion-skin hues.

Baracchi Brut Rosé: 36 months on the lees

The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Traditional Method. The Baracchi Brut Rosé then ages for 36 months on the lees, developing greater aromatic complexity, finesse and elegance.

This long maturation also contributes to the formation of a fine, persistent and beautifully integrated perlage. The result combines the structure of Sangiovese with the freshness and precision of a high-quality Metodo Classico sparkling wine.
