The production process of Bottega Rose Gold is therefore characterised by the complete absence of substances of animal origin in the entire chain from the vineyard to the bottle.
This sparkling wine is produced from a selection of Pinot Nero grapes harvested in Oltrepò Pavese. This area of Lombardy is widely appreciated by wine growers. The vineyards extend mainly on hills (100-300 metres above sea level), where the soil is characterised by marine sediment with fine clay.
The grapes are harvested by hand and vinified at a controlled temperature. The skins remain in contact with the must for 24 hours. Must and skins are then separated by gentle pressing. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 18° C. Afterwards, the resulting wine goes through the mousse taking process. The second fermentation takes place in steel containers, according to the Charmat method, at a controlled temperature of 14° C and lasts 60-90 days.
Bottega Rose Gold, which is characterised by its unmistakable peach colour, appears brilliant with a fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet is distinctly floral, with hints of berries, especially currants and wild strawberries. The flavour is fresh, with good acidity, harmonious, delicate and persistent.
It can be defined as a wine for the whole meal. In particular, it goes well with tasty risottos with vegetables, savoury pies, chickpea hummus with crudités, roasted or sautéed vegetables with soy sauce and sesame, and borlotti or cannellini bean salads. It is also a pleasant after-dinner.
