Prosecco Rosé DOC "Il Vino dei Poeti"

Artistry, energy and ingenuity abound in this enticing wine from entrepreneur Sandro Bottega and his family. The three basic principles Sandro holds fundamental are simple: that creativity, quality, and flavor are inextricably linked, discovery is a never-ending process, and imaginative is always essential. Distilleria Bottega was founded nearly 40 years ago by master distiller Aldo Bottega, Sandro Bottega's father. Il Vino dei Poeti Prosecco Rosé DOC is a dry sparkling wine that originates from grapes grown in the province of Treviso and in Friuli Venezia Giulia, cultivated according to classic and traditional techniques that have maintained their quality and typicality unchanged over the years.

A temperate climate with generous rainfall and sunshine make the Prosecco region ideal for cultivating Glera grapes. Soil is comprised of clay, sandstone, and marl rich in nutrients and minerals, and which allows for fast drainage of water for the vines.

The grapes are harvested when the sensory analyses carried out on the grapes in the vineyard and the ripening index analysis show a natural acidity and good minerality (induced by the soil). Since the two varieties have different ripening times, they are vinified separately. Glera grapes are generally harvested in mid-September. Pinot Noir, on the other hand, is harvested at the end of August. The grapes are destemmed, softly pressed and finally the must is cleaned. The first fermentation takes place in steel tanks after the addition of selected yeasts.

Bright pink mother-of-pearl, with fine and persistent perlage. Fruity aromas with distinct hints of apple, white peach, citrus, wild strawberries, and floral notes like peach blossoms. Fresh and delicate, fragrant on the palate and enhances the olfactory sensations.
