Production of Pinot Grigio Rosé Provincia di Pavia IGT - Cecilia Beretta

The grapes for the Pinot Grigio Rosé Provincia di Pavia IGT - Cecilia Beretta come from selected vineyards in Lombardy, in the wider area around Pavia. This region benefits from an interplay of warm days and cool nights, allowing the aromas in the berries to ripen with intensity and clarity. The moderate climate and proximity to rivers create pleasant temperature variations that appear particularly well suited to producing fresh, aromatic rosé wines.

The soils in this region are diverse: partly calcareous, partly clayey, with gravelly inclusions. This structure ensures good drainage and provides the vines with a balanced water supply. Pinot Grigio responds sensitively to soil conditions, which is why it develops an individual, characterful expression in Pavia, reflected in the glass through finesse and clarity.

The grapes are harvested selectively so that only sound, fully aromatic fruit is processed. After gentle pressing, the must remains in brief contact with the grape skins, creating the delicate salmon-pink hue. This short maceration period gives the wine its characteristic, delicate color while bringing its fine fruity aromas to the fore.

The rosé wine is matured in stainless steel tanks. Temperature-controlled fermentation preserves the floral and fruity primary aromas and prevents oxidation. This keeps the bouquet clear and precise. The stainless steel highlights the fresh character without emphasizing oak influence or additional spice. After fermentation, the wine rests on its fine lees, lending it added creaminess and harmonious texture.

The signature style of Cecilia Beretta is expressed through the combination of regional character and modern clarity. The winemaking approach focuses on freshness, precision, and drinkability. The team deliberately avoids excessive extraction in order to preserve the delicate aromas of Pinot Grigio. The result is a pleasantly light rosé with charming aromas, moderate alcohol, and clear structure.

This rosé is also highly suitable for festive occasions with a buffet or finger food.

The ideal serving temperature is between 8 and 10°C. At this temperature, the wine reveals all its aromatic finesse, floral notes, and clear fruit character. A slender white-wine glass is particularly suitable, as it concentrates the aromatic nuances and emphasizes the freshness on the palate.

For storage, a cool, dark place with a temperature that remains as constant as possible is recommended. Storing the bottle horizontally helps preserve the quality of the screw cap and protects the wine from exposure to air. This rosé shows its best qualities especially during the first few years after the harvest, delighting during this period with lively, fresh drinkability and invigorating fruit.
