Holds shape bottle to bottle. That brutal beauty signature - savage minerality, salty peach, cinnamon and ginger, seawater and brine, cellar dampness. Balance fully present, weaponised intensity without losing the line. Iodine, subtle mushrooms, red apple skin on the finish. Serious, complex, uncompromising rosé that doesn't care whether you're ready for it.
About
The Rosé de Noirs Nature 60 Lune is Gatta's pink Brut Nature - 100% Pinot Nero from a Cellatica parcel of roughly thirty-year-old vines on iron-rich clay, east-facing, around 400 m on the calcareous Brescian hillside. Brief skin maceration of a few hours gives the wine its colour without committing to red-wine extraction. Spontaneous fermentation in old oak, malolactic on the base wine, and refermentation in bottle by the classic method.
Sixty lune on lees - lunar cycles, the house's preferred unit, totalling roughly fifty-eight months. No filtration, no fining, zero added sulphites. This particular release was disgorged in September 2023 (lot L09/23-E23). Total production for the release is around 3,500 bottles.
A pink Brut Nature in the Gatta register: leaner and longer than what mainstream pink Franciacorta tends to be, vinous rather than fruit-forward, with the saline length the producer's Gussago hillside is known for.
