Ruffino Sparkling Rose

Description

”VINEYARDS Grapes sourced for Ruffino Sparkling Rose are from highly sought-after vineyards located in the Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto regions of Northeastern Italy, an area known for high quality sparkling wine production.VINIFICATION AND AGING As with every sparkling wine, the production of Sparkling Rose occurs in two stages. In the first stage, a white still wine is made from Glera grapes and a second still red wine is made from Pinot Noir grapes. These two wines are then blended, creating a still wine with a beautiful rose hue. This blend then undergoes second vinification in-tank called the Charmat methodwhere, using selected yeasts, secondary fermentation lasting approximately one month takes place in pressurized tanks before the wine is bottled under pressure. The Charmat method is well-suited for wines made from aromatic grape varieties since it preserves the character of the grapes, thus yielding fresh, fruity, and fragrant sparkling wines.TASTING NOTES Ruffino Sparkling Rose is fresh and fragrant with notes of strawberry and slight hints of rose petals. On the palate this wine has elegant bubbles and refreshing acidity, offering flavors of delicate red berries and white fruits that linger through the finish.PAIRING SUGGESTIONS Serve well chilled, 45 48F. Ideal as an aperitif, but also quite versatile as a food companion, pairing well with a variety of dishes including grilled fish, roasted chicken, and fresh salads.” – Ruffino
