Description
What kind of wine it is
Ca Maiol Spumante Sebastian Brut Rosé is a sparkling wine that combines a fresh flavour profile with a pleasant structural roundness. This rosé displays a delicate pale pink hue with bright reflections. On the nose, it opens with notes of pink grapefruit and pomegranate, while a slight aeration releases hints of peach blossom, wild berries and ginger. On the palate, it offers a perfect savoury balance that meets the softness of the fruit, delivering a harmonious blend of silkiness and pleasant crispness.
Where it comes from
The origin of this sparkling wine is deeply linked to the Lombardy region, born on the southern shore of Lake Garda. Here, since 1967, the Ca Maiol winery has cultivated its own vineyards, translating the essence of the lakeside environment into wines with a strong identity. The proximity to the lake directly influences the expressiveness of the red grapes, encouraging a ripening that preserves freshness and savouriness. This geographical context defines the stylistic imprint of the rosé, enhancing the fruity aromatic notes that characterise the local production.
How it is produced
The process begins with the harvesting of the red grapes, followed by a gentle pressing and a brief cold maceration to extract the delicate colour. The must ferments at low temperatures to preserve the varietal aromas. The sparkling process takes place using the Charmat Method, with the second fermentation in a pressurised tank. Afterwards, the wine undergoes ageing on the lees for several months, a stage that enriches the flavour structure and gives the perlage remarkable finesse.
History and Curiosities
The Sebastian Brut Rosé from Ca Maiol is a romantic tribute to the southern shore of Lake Garda, where the founder's dream took shape in 1967. This brilliant VSQ with its delicate pink hue, crafted using the Charmat Method, expresses the soul of the Lombardy region, offering a perfect balance between savoury freshness and fruity notes. Thanks to low-temperature vinification and ageing on the lees, it releases clear scents of pink grapefruit and pomegranate. An elegant and crisp sparkling wine, capable of evolving in the bottle for 3-5 years.
