Description
What kind of wine is it
Bottega Rose Gold Brut is a sparkling rosé wine that expresses all the elegance of Pinot Noir. In the glass, it displays a pale, bright pink colour, enlivened by a fine and persistent perlage. The aromatic profile opens with delicate floral sensations, intertwined with clear notes of small red fruits such as currants and wild strawberries. On the palate, it is fresh and velvety, with a structure capable of balancing body with a well-balanced acidity, offering a pleasant and lingering finish.
Where does it come from
The grapes come from hilly areas located in the south of Lombardy, on the right bank of the River Po. In this region, the temperate climate, characterised by marked temperature variations and breezy summers, creates the optimal conditions to preserve aromatic freshness. The vineyards are rooted in sedimentary marl soils, composed equally of limestone and fine clays, ensuring the wine has great clarity of flavour. The vines are trained using the spurred cordon and Guyot methods, with a density of four thousand five hundred plants per hectare.
How is it produced
The manual harvest takes place between the end of August and the beginning of September. The destemmed grapes undergo a cold maceration at five degrees for twenty-four hours, essential for extracting colour and primary aromas. After gentle pressing, the rosé must ferments at eighteen degrees. The secondary fermentation takes place using the Charmat method at fourteen degrees with selected yeasts. The process ends with careful ageing on the lees, which gives the wine greater complexity before filtration and resting in the bottle.

| Wine making | The grapes are harvested manually and, after destemming, the must is left in contact with the skins for 24 hours at 5 °C; the rosé must is then separated from the skins via soft pressing and ferments at a controlled temperature of 18 °C. The second fermentation takes place according to the Martinotti (Charmat) method at 14 °C with selected yeasts; ageing on the lees, then filtration, bottling and resting in the bottle prior to commercialisation. |
