The hills of Franciacorta were inhabited by primitive populations, then by the Cenomani Gauls, the Romans and the Longobards, and in all these eras the cultivation of vines has been a constant. Franciacorta was an ideal region for the cultivation of vines due to its favorable climatic and soil conditions. Despite the ups and downs, viticulture in these lands has never stopped.

Franciacorta Rosé Brut DOCG by Ferghettina is a unique rosé sparkling wine and refined that combines the power of Pinot Noir grapes with the typical elegance of Franciacorta DOCG wines. The production of this high quality rosé begins with the selection of Pinot Noir grapes from 14 vineyards located in 4 municipalities in Franciacorta. The vinification is carried out using the ancient pressing system of the Marmonnier press, which guarantees maximum respect for the organoleptic characteristics of the Pinot Noir grape. During this process, only the flower must is extracted, which is subsequently subjected to fermentation alcohol in steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 16 and 18 °C. The base wine is then left to rest in tanks until the spring following the harvest. The end result is a Franciacorta Rosé Brut with an exceptional combination of freshness and gustatory complexity.

The Ferghettina farm is known for its particular square bottle, created to obtain the "" squaring the circle"". The unique shape of the bottle, patented by Matteo, Roberto's son, allows Franciacortas aged on the lees to have a wine-yeast contact surface up to 2.5 times greater than a round bottle. The inner side of the bottle, in fact, is flat, allowing for a greater storage area for the yeasts. This results in a greater release of manno-proteins and yeast lysate, which enrich the wine in terms of aromatic components.
