SEASON 2021

A cool spring with little rainfall, preceded by a mild winter, led to early and vigorous sprouting. The abundant rainfall in July restored the vegetative development of the plant, avoiding an unfavorable early harvest. Long periods, with high day/night temperature swings, favored a perfect phenolic ripening of the grapes, predicting one of the best vintages in terms of aromatic freshness and minerality. This climate during the harvest proved to be particularly favourable.

HARVEST

10th SEPTEMBER TO 11th SEPTEMBER

VINIFICATION

The selected grapes, once in the winery, are crushed-destemmed and placed directly into the press. Here, after a short maceration process of 4 hours, a soft pressing takes place which selects only the “mosto fiore”. After pressing, the must is kept at 10°C and allowed to clarify naturally by static decantation. The limpid is then taken and fermented using selected yeasts at a controlled temperature, for the first alcoholic fermentation. Once obtained, the wine is made sparkling with the “metodo Charmat” and left to mature for about 6 months in stainless steel tanks, for the second fermentation. Subsequently the Rosè Spumante ages for a short time in the bottle.

SENSORY ANALYSIS

Salmon pink color with coral highlights. On the nose it expresses spicy and fruity notes, among which pepper stands out and a bouquet of red fruits, wild strawberries and currants. In the mouth it is velvety with a marked acidity and a slightly savory aftertaste.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Perfect as an aperitif. Also recommended with more delicious pairings, such as a good pizza or fresh pasta with a Mediterranean sauce.
