Carpene Malvolti Prosecco Rose Brut

Enjoy now or cellar for a couple of years. Serve chilled. Carpenè Maltovi is a prestigious winery in Treviso, run by the highly influential Carpenè family. The Carpenès do not stop at wine-making - they are scholars of oenology and have been contributing to the topic for generations. Founder Antonio Carpenè founded one of Italy’s first oenological schools in 1876, and was one of the original producers of Italian sparkling wine. Five generations later, the winery is under the leadership of Rosanna Carpenè, aided by her father Etile. Together they continue Carpenè Maltovi’s legacy, in creating a delicious range of Prosecco wine. Foaming with pale pink bubbles, this Rosé Brut is made from Glera and 15% Pinot Noir. It is splendidly aromatic, bearing notes of strawberries and rich apples, and hints of wildflowers. It was made in the Charmat style, to emphasise the natural floral and fruity scents of the grapes. It is round and juicy in the mouth, with harmonious and easy-drinking fruit flavours and a backbone of lively acidity. This is a wine that opens up several food-pairing options and will complement any white meats or fish, vegetable dishes, spicy food, or mild cheeses.
