Tasting Notes

Aromas of fresh berries and a hint of spice lead to a palate of crisp acidity and a creamy mouthfeel. This delightful sparkler is dry, fresh and zesty.

Whole Gleragrapes are softly pressed, and the must is stored in controlled temperature tanks after a first racking. The Pinot Noir grapes are pressed and put into tanks where light maceration is carried out in order to extract colors and tannins at a controlled temperature of 22-23°C (72°F). The white must and a small part of the red must are blended before the blend is inoculated with selected yeast cultures. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 15-16°C (60°F). Upon reaching the required alcohol and sugar content, fermentation is stopped by refrigeration. After a two month period on lees, the sparkling wine is ready for bottling.

    "A fresh fling of red-berry and grapefruit aromas that almost get a little peachy, too. Easy and lightly fizzy with a crisp yet generous palate, filled with some light cherry flavors. Drink now."

    "A small percentage of pinot noir adds color and flavor to this rosé based on glera, the main grape of prosecco. The blend produces a round, fresh sparkler, yielding flavors of nuts and nectarines, the fruit sweetness completely cleaned up by acidity and bubble. Chill it as an aperitif."

    "A small addition of pinot noir provides color and flavor to this rosé based on glera, the main grape of prosecco. The blend produces a round, fresh sparkler, yielding flvors of nuts and nectarines, the fruit sweetness completely cleaned up the acidity and bubbles. Chill as an aperitif."
