Botter, Rosé Spumante Extra Dry, Veneto, Italy

Description

About Casa Vinicola Botter: Founded in 1928 in the Veneto region, 30 kms northeast of Venice, by Carlo Botter, the company began as a small business trading in local Veneto wines in barrels and demijohns. The purchase of a small winery and a few acres of land in Veneto allowed Carlo to start bottling wines from his own estate. Now run by the third generation Bottter family it continues to makes wines from its own vineyards, the 60 hectare organic La Di Motte estate in Veneto and Fruili. Drawing on more than 70 years winemaking experience the company also vilifies grapes from estates across Italy, from Veneto in the North to Apulia and Sicily in the South, giving it a truly national identity and a large portfolio of very high quality wines.

Vinification: The wine is filtered in steel tanks with the addition of must and selected yeasts for the second fermentation (Martinotti – Charmat method) at a controlled temperature of 14/15 °C. Once the wine has reached the required pressure levels, alcohol and sugar content, it is refrigerated, cold stabilized (–2/- 3°C), filtered and controlled before bottling.

Description: Light rosé colour. Elegant and intense bouquet. Dry, soft and well-balanced on the palate; round and full bodied structure. Perfect as an aperitif but excellent with fish soups, grilled fish and courses based on mushrooms.

Alcohol: 11%
