This sparkling rosé has high, refreshing acidity, fine bubbles and a dry finish with fresh red berries and a discreet minerality. The acidity and the perlage cleanse the palate and cut through richness, so it works beautifully with shellfish, crisp fried dishes and creamy cheeses, where the bubbles lift the fattiness. The light red fruit and the full, yet balanced body also match delicate fish and poultry dishes without overpowering them. Stick to dishes of moderate intensity, so the wine's elegant and clean character is allowed to play along.

About the wine

The vineyards Santella, Roncaglia Pian dele Viti, Gremoni are all located on the edge of the forest at an altitude of 200-350 meters. The soil here is well-drained and rich. The microclimate and the biodynamic approach to production are clearly noticeable in this fine wine. It has structure, full-bodied flavor, and fresh acidity adapted in a truly fine balance.

Vinification takes place with gentle pressing, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Then aging for 10 months, 50% in steel, 50% in used barriques.

The secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle for 30-40 months, where it develops its characteristic fine perlage and complex aromas.

A truly fine presentation of the delicate character of rosé. Beautiful light pink color in the glass, with sparkling fine bubbles.

The rosé offers a refreshing acidity that awakens the taste buds. Fresh red berries such as strawberries and raspberries spring forth, providing a lively and fruity sensation. A discreet minerality adds depth and structure to the wine, while the dry character highlights elegance and purity.

The serving suggestion for this sparkling rosé is versatile. It is perfect as a welcome drink for a festive occasion or as a romantic aperitif. The wine has fine perlage, a fruity character and a dry finish.
