Winemaker Notes
The Corvina varietal, which dominates in terms of percentage, was chosen for the floral aromas as well as the significant acidity it gives to the wine. Trebbiano brings elegance and a long finish. Syrah adds fruit and spice notes and Carmenere creates structure, ensuring stability over time. This a fresh, enveloping rosé with an beautiful bouquet perfect to accompany summer evenings and more.

Whether it’s playful and fun or savory and serious, most rosé today is not your grandmother’s White Zinfandel, though that category remains strong. Pink wine has recently become quite trendy, and this time around it’s commonly quite dry. Since the pigment in red wines comes from keeping fermenting juice in contact with the grape skins for an extended period, it follows that a pink wine can be made using just a brief period of skin contact—usually just a couple of days. The resulting color depends on grape variety and winemaking style, ranging from pale salmon to deep magenta.
The region of Treviso is famous for the origin of the sparkling wines called Prosecco, which are made from its native Glera grape. Within Treviso are the Prosecco de Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG and Colli Asolani Prosecco DOCG appellations, which are independent of the more general Prosecco DOC.
