Tasting Notes:

  • Colour: This sparkling wine will have a delicate pink or peachy rose colour, characteristic of Prosecco Rosé. The colour is derived from the brief maceration of Pinot Noir during fermentation, which imparts the rosé hue.
  • Nose: Expect fresh, fruity aromas, with notes of ripe strawberries, cherries, and a hint of red apples. There may be subtle floral undertones, like rose petals or white flowers, as well as a delicate yeasty note from the secondary fermentation (typical in sparkling wines).
  • Palate: On the palate, the wine is likely crisp and refreshing, with a balanced acidity that is a hallmark of good Prosecco. The flavours will mirror the nose, with the red berry fruit (especially strawberry and raspberry) coming through clearly. The wine’s tiny, fine bubbles (which are a sign of a well-made sparkling wine) will give it a smooth and elegant mouthfeel, while the Pinot Noir component adds a layer of richness and complexity to the wine. Expect a clean, bright finish with lingering hints of fruitiness and a slight mineral touch.
  • Finish: The finish is refreshing with the characteristic dryness of a Brut style Prosecco, leaving a pleasant aftertaste of fresh berries and a touch of citrus zest.

Winemaking:

  • Grape Selection: The wine is made from a blend of Glera, the primary grape used for Prosecco, and Pinot Noir, which provides the wine's characteristic pink colour and contributes additional complexity to the flavour profile.
  • Fermentation: The base wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, ensuring the preservation of fresh fruit flavours and aromas. For Prosecco Rosé, the Pinot Noir is fermented with the Glera to impart the desired pink colour through a brief period of maceration.
  • Secondary Fermentation: The wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the tank using the Charmat method(also known as the Martinotti method), which is the process responsible for creating the bubbles. In this method, the wine is fermented a second time in sealed tanks with added sugar and yeast to produce carbon dioxide, giving the wine its signature effervescence.
  • Ageing: The wine is left to age on the lees (dead yeast cells) for a brief period, which adds subtle complexity and texture to the wine without making it overly yeasty. The ageing process enhances the wine’s smoothness and balance while preserving its fresh and vibrant character.

Food Pairing:

The Villa Sandi Il Fresco Prosecco DOC Rosé Millesimato Brut is a versatile sparkling wine, perfect for a wide range of pairings:
  • Appetizers & Finger Foods: The freshness and effervescence of Prosecco Rosé make it an ideal companion for light appetizers such as bruschetta, caprese salad, or seafood cocktails (like shrimp or crab).
  • Cheese: It pairs beautifully with soft cheeses like Brie, Camembert, or goat cheese. It also works well with fresh mozzarella or mild cheddar.
  • Seafood: The crisp acidity of this wine makes it a great match for oysters, grilled prawns, seared scallops, or fish tartare.
  • Pasta: Light pasta dishes with cream-based sauces, like fettuccine alfredo or pasta with lobster or shrimp, complement the wine's smooth texture and subtle fruitiness.
  • Poultry: Lightly roasted or grilled chicken or turkey with herbs or even dishes with smoked duck.
  • Desserts: Prosecco Rosé can be paired with light desserts, such as strawberry shortcake, fruit tarts, or lemon sorbet. Its natural fruitiness and crispness make it a good match for fruity, less-sweet treats.
