Description:

It features a delicate pale pink color with cherry highlights, enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it reveals intense aromas ranging from floral notes of rose and peony petals to more evolved hints of acacia honey, with delicate fruity nuances that lend freshness and aromatic vivacity. On the palate, it is fresh and savory, characterized by a remarkable depth of flavor that demonstrates the quality of the indigenous grape, supported by a pleasant structure that balances elegance and character. The fine, creamy bubbles enhance the terroir's minerality, culminating in a full-bodied, persistent finish. Ideal as an aperitif, it pairs magnificently with all seafood dishes, particularly with raw scampi and delicate seafood preparations.

This sparkling rosé represents the most refined interpretation of the ancient blend of grapes from the Garda Riviera, where native grape varieties such as Groppello, Barbera, Sangiovese, and Marzemino find the lakeside climate ideal for expressing their distinctive characteristics. Olivini has enhanced this centuries-old tradition through careful attention to the blending of different varieties and the optimal harvest time. The rosé winemaking process involves manual harvesting in crates to preserve the integrity of the grapes, followed by soft pressing of the whole bunch and alcoholic fermentation with selected yeasts at a controlled temperature. The classic method sparkling wine production process, with secondary fermentation in the bottle and sur lie maturation, lends complexity and finesse, complemented by manual disgorgement.
