SPUMANTE BRUT rosè
A fine and fragrant traditional-method rosé sparkling wine, born from the blend of Sangiovese, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Its coppery hue and fine, persistent perlage introduce a delicate bouquet of wild berries, citrus fruits and rose petals. On the palate, it is dry, fresh and harmonious, with a graceful character and an elegant finish marked by hints of redcurrant, almond and small red berries.

Vinification
The grapes are rigorously quality – selected, then gently pressed and the must macerates on the skin for 24-36 hours. The must is cold-settled, racked, then fermented at a controlled temperature. In spring, the new wine is bottled with a mixture of sugar and cultured yeasts, then undergoes its secondary fermentation. After 20-22 months of fermentation and maturation, the wine is disgorged, then topped up with a liqueur d’expédition. After a further minimum of 3 months ageing, the wine is released.
