Villa Sandi Millesimato Rose 2021
Description
A new wine category that has recently hit the market and it’s going to be your new Summer favorite! Prosecco Rosé was (finally) approved by the Italian government as an official new wine category last year. For years, Prosecco producers were making a sparkling Rosé but they could not officially call it a Prosecco, until now. The good news is that producers must now follow strict regulation to ensure quality. The grapes must be a minimum 85% Glera (the same grape used in regular Prosecco) with the addition of up to 15% Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir).
Tasting notes
The Prosecco Rosé presents itself revealing an elegant pink hue with copper highlights and a lively and persistent perlage. Its aromatic freshness offers a bouquet of red fruits and floral scents in particular notes of pomegranade and rose. On the palate it is silky and full, with a very pleasant balance.Excellent as an aperitif. Ideal companion of finger foods, linguine’s pasta, delicate cheeses and small pastry.
Estate
A sparkling jewel protected by the hills in the heart of the Province of Treviso, Villa Sandi is a Palladian style masterpiece dating back to 1622. It represents the link between the magnificence of Venice of past centuries and the countryside, the area known as “Garden of Venice”. Villa Sandi takes family tradition and values into the future by combining innovation and research with respect and love for territory. A whole wine experience including history, art, terroir, landscape, wine and food, which makes Villa Sandi an icon of the Prosecco area.
Vineyard
Areas dedicated to vine-growing in the north-eastern regions of Italy (Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions) with marly soils of alluvial origin rich in subsoil. The base wine cuvée is made from a blend between Glera and Pinot Nero grapes.
Vinification
Whole white grapes are put into the pneumatic press for soft pressing and the resulting must, after a first racking, is put into controlled temperature tanks where it remains until it is used for the production of the sparkling wine. The red grapes, after pressing, are put into tanks where a soft maceration for extraction of colour and a few tannins takes place at a controlled temperature of 22-23°C. At the same time the aroma is enhanced.
