Bortolomiol’s “Filanda Rosé” (Oltrepò Pavese area north-west of Italy) is a delicate, fruity, bright and lively Rosé sparkling made from 100% Pinot Nero grape variety, with a fine and persistent perlage. Harvested end of august, the grapes undergo brief maceration on skins followed by gentle pressing and a primary fermentation at controlled temperature with selected yeasts. The second fermentation occurs in large tanks following the Metodo Martinotti-Charmat Lungo, with foaming taking place within 25-30days. Refinement on the yeasts for about 3 months, followed by 1 to 3 more months fining in the bottle. The appearance shows a lovely pink colour, delicate while intense and assertive. The bouquet has the liveliness of wide, variegated fruity sensations counterbalanced by the finess and complexity of its almost meaty floral notes, spiced with pepper and cinnamon. In the mouth it is the wine’s freshness and good body as well as its notable persistent fragrant flavour which are most evident. Food-match: A rich fish soup with tomatoes is a worthy accompaniment, as is a tasty onion and cheese soup. Spicy foods go particularly well with this Rosé as they bring out its exotic character. Recommended serving-temperature of 6°-8°C. Show more
