In the vineyard
Prosecco Rosé Bosco del Merlo is a blend of 85% Glera and 15% Pinot Nero vinified in red, with a lower yield/hectare to have higher intensity of colour and aromas. Grapes are vinified separately and in different periods to obtain a perfect balance between these two varieties and preserve freshness and flavors.
In the cellar
The fermentation of the must occurs at a temperature of 15°C to enhance the fruity notes. For the taking of foam the Charmat Method is used, with frequent battonage in order to enhance the finesse and the fragrance. Therefore, it follows an appropriate period of refinement in bottle to restore balance and softness. The bubbles are thin and persistent, very pleasant to the eye as well as to the palate.
In tasting
The wine in characterised by a pink intense colour with gently coppery shades. Typically fresh and subtly floral scents. The flavour is dry and persistent, with a very good freshness.
Pairings
