Brilla Prosecco Rose DOC Veneto

Brilla Prosecco Rosé DOC Veneto, Italy

Grapes: A blend of Glera with up to 15% Pinot Noir

Producer Tasting Note:

Fine bright perlage, light rosé colour. Delicate and complex bouquet with fruity notes that remind of peach, green apple and lemon. Floral notes of acacia and rose. Fresh and light on the palate, with balanced acidity and body. Round and full bodied structure.

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"Bright, even, pale peach pink. The nose is softly full, with creamy aromas of strawberry, stonefruit, apple and blossoms. Medium-bodied, dry-ish to taste, aromas of peach, strawberry and baked apple interweaved white blossom. The fruit is juicy with balanced, lively acidity; fine-textured phenolics resemble peach skins and linger with subtle floral details. Serve as an aperitif and match with seafood over the next 2-3 years. A blend of Glera and Pinot Nero, 11% alc."

18.5/20 points, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews, November 2022

"Aromas and flavours of peach and sweet orange, some mineral and very fine lees qualities. Balanced, fresh, crisp and dry on the palate. The mousse is fresh and lively and along with the acidity carries the peach, apple and sweet orange flavours. Balanced and well made with best drinking from day of purchase through 2025"

The blend of Glera and Pinot Noir creates the characteristic pink base for the future sparkling wine. The ensuing secondary fermentation in stainless steel tanks, using the Charmat method at a controlled temperature of 14-15°C and the prolonged storage on lees for a total period of about 60 days, create a young, lively sparkling wine with vivid flavours. Once the wine has reached the required pressure, alcohol and sugar levels, it is chilled and cold-stabilized (-2/-3°C), filtered and checked before bottling.

Food Match: Enjoy rosé bubbles as an aperitif, but excellent paired with fish soups, grilled fish and courses based on mushrooms.
