Trento Spumante Rosé Brut Cresta Nova 2022

Cresta Nova’s Trento Spumante Rosé Brut is made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes grown in vineyards on the high hills of the Adige Valley, at an altitude of around 600 metres. The Chardonnay is vinified as a white wine, whilst the Pinot Noir undergoes a brief maceration on the skins that continues until alcoholic fermentation begins, allowing the extraction of its characteristic delicate rosé colour. Secondary fermentation takes place using the Classic Method in the spring following the harvest and involves ageing on the lees for at least 24 months. After disgorging, a small amount of ‘liqueur d’expédition’ is added, which helps to define the final balance between freshness and roundness on the palate. On the nose, there are hints of small red fruits, notes of redcurrant and hints of pastry. On the palate, it is rich, balanced and elegant with a fine, persistent perlage. Excellent paired with salmon tartare with olive oil
