Gancia Prosecco Rosé DOC 2024

Pink coloured Prosecco was passed into the laws in 2021, which became the first vintage of this particular wine.

Just like any other Prosecco, the sparkling wines came from Glera vineyards of Veneto hills. Once the Glera grapes have reached the correct level of ripeness, are harvested and taken to the cellar to be destemmed and soft pressed.

During this process, the must is separated from the grapes skins, then cooled and clarified. Yeasts are added to the clarified must in order to start the alcoholic fermentation at the controlled temperature of 16-18°C. After this process, the temperature of the new wine is lowered to 8-12°C and after a few days, the liquid is decanted for the first time, obtaining the base wine glera.

The pink colour comes from direct addition of Pinot Noir. The fruits are harvested ripe and taken to the cellar to be pressed and fermented on the skins. The alcoholic fermentation takes place at the temperature of 25°C and at the end of the process, the pomace is pressed to obtain the base wine Pinot Noir. The base wine Pinot Noir is mixed with the base wine glera for the second fermentation.

The wine base is filtered, sugar and yeasts are added to the liquid for the second fermentation in sealed tank. Once the desired over-pressure is reached, the wine is cooled at -2-0°C and matured with yeasts. After 60 days, the wine is ready for the bottling. Apart from Prosecco’s conventional floral and lemony aroma, its pink version offers also a raspberry and strawberry nuance of notes.
