Prosecco Rosé DOC is born from the meeting of the freshness of Glera and the elegance of Pinot Noir vinified as red wine. It is a modern, pleasant and visually striking sparkling wine, perfect for those looking for a different kind of Prosecco that remains easy to serve.
Col dei Franchi interprets Prosecco Rosé through two different expressions: the fresh immediacy of CAJ Prosecco D.O.C. Rosé Millesimato Brut and the more refined character of OROCHIARO Prosecco D.O.C. Rosé Millesimato Brut.
What is Prosecco Rosé DOC?
Prosecco Rosé DOC is the rosé version of Prosecco, produced by combining Glera grapes with Pinot Noir. Glera brings freshness, immediacy and delicate aromas; Pinot Noir adds color, structure and notes of small red fruits.
The result is a sparkling wine with a delicate pink color, fine perlage and a fresh, floral and fruity aromatic profile.
The grapes: Glera and Pinot Noir
Glera is the signature grape variety of Prosecco. It is responsible for its freshness, delicate aromas and pleasant drinkability.
Pinot Noir, vinified as red wine, contributes to the rosé color and adds more complex nuances, often linked to cherry, redcurrant, wild strawberry and small red fruits.
This combination makes Prosecco Rosé particularly suitable for aperitifs, but also for light dishes and convivial occasions.
The Martinotti method
Prosecco Rosé is produced using the Martinotti method, also known as the Charmat method. The second fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, a process that preserves freshness, aromas and immediacy.
This method is especially suitable for young, lively and aromatic sparkling wines, where the goal is to maintain the fragrance of the fruit and a clean, pleasant sip.
Color, aromas and taste
Prosecco Rosé is immediately recognizable for its delicate, bright pink color. On the nose, it may recall white flowers, wisteria, small red fruits, cherry and redcurrant.
On the palate, it is fresh, lively and pleasant. The bubbles support the sip without making it heavy, making it ideal for those looking for an elegant yet approachable wine.
Prosecco Rosé for aperitif
Prosecco Rosé is perfect for aperitif. Its color makes it visually appealing, while its freshness makes it easy to pair with food.
You can serve it with:
- salmon canapés;
- crostini with fresh cheese;
- vegetarian finger food;
- prawns and shellfish;
- sushi;
- delicate cured meats;
- light focaccia;
- grilled vegetables;
- seafood starters.
It is an ideal choice when you want to bring to the table a fresh, modern and visually elegant bottle.
