Villa Sandi Prosecco DOC Rosé Brut Millesimato 2023

This wine has a pale pink colour and tastes of subtle fresh, small red fruits, rose and pomegranate. A silky and full example of a Prosecco Rose.

Located in Northeastern Italy, Villa Sandi Il Fresco Rose grapes come from Treviso, the heart of Prosecco. Treviso consists of 95 municipalities or “villages”. Character of the soil here is influenced by the Piave river and contain a lot of pebbles, stones, sand and some clay. By DOC law, Treviso may only be used if the grapes are harvested and the wine produced and bottled exclusively in the Treviso province.

Whole Glera grapes 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 colours 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.

Not aged

This makes a wonderful companion to fresh fruit, small pastries and also goes well with delicate cheeses.
