Vinification of the Brut Rosé from Rosa del Golfo

The grapes for the Brut Rosé - Rosa del Golfo come from selected sites in Apulia. There, the vines benefit from abundant sunshine, cool sea breezes and calcareous soils. Chardonnay provides clear freshness and citrus notes. Negroamaro contributes structure, color and red fruit. Both varieties are tended separately in order to preserve their character. Pruning keeps yields low so that the energy is concentrated in the grapes.

Harvesting takes place when the fruit has reached optimal ripeness. The winegrowers pay close attention to the balance between sugar and acidity. Only ripe berries reach the cellar. The harvest usually takes place in the cool morning hours in order to preserve freshness and aroma. In the cellar, the grapes are processed quickly. Gentle pressing limits the color extraction from the Negroamaro. This creates the elegant rosé hue with its luminous tone.

After pressing, the must is cooled and clarified. The first fermentation then takes place at controlled temperature. This preserves the fine fruit aromas of strawberry, raspberry and red currant. Chardonnay contributes firm acidity and delicate citrus notes. Negroamaro adds red berries and a subtly spicy touch. After fermentation, the base wines mature briefly on the fine lees, which adds a little creaminess and complexity. Only then does the cellar master compose the cuvée.

The second fermentation, in other words the actual sparkling wine production, follows the classic principle. The added yeast sets the perlage in motion, creating pressure in the bottle. The fine mousse of the Brut Rosé - Rosa del Golfo is the result of this slow fermentation. A period of maturation on the lees rounds off the profile. The wine gains depth and shows subtle notes of brioche and almond. After disgorgement, dosage is added in the brut range. The wine thus remains clearly dry, with plenty of freshness and precise fruit.

The careful vinification turns the Brut Rosé - Rosa del Golfo into a rosé sparkling wine with character. The combination of traditional vineyard work and modern cellar technology ensures high quality. Here, Apulia presents itself from an elegant side, far removed from heavy styles. This sparkling wine stands for freshness, finesse and ripe fruit.
