Wine Description:

This Prosecco Rosé is a beautiful peach pink, with a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, intense fruity aromas of peach, raspberry and ripe passion fruit. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a pleasant acidity and a fresh and harmonious flavour.

The vineyards are located in the hills and are north facing. The hillside sites experience cooler nights, allowing the aromatic compounds of the grapes to develop. The vines are trained using the Guyot system and the number of vines per hectare ranges from 3500 to 4000. The soil is calcareous and of volcanic origin.
The grapes were vinified separately, with a short maceration for 24 -36 hours at 8-10°C. The first fermentation occurred inside stainless steel vats at controlled temperatures, where selected yeasts were added. The wine was then blended and obtained its bubbles inside low-temperature pressure tanks.

Producer Description

The Ca’ di Alte wines are made at Cantina Colli Vicentini, near Verona, under the watchful eye of winemaker and director Alberto Marchisio.

The grapes for the Ca' di Alte range are grown primarily on hills south of Vicenza, known as the Colli Berici, which ensures lower yields and optimum ripeness. With Alberto's hand in the winery, the delicate aromas in the unoaked whites have been preserved. 

The Pinot Nero shows the benefits of the vineyard's high elevations, which create cool nights and excellent freshness in the final wines. This expression is defined by appealing cherry perfume, decent depth on the palate and excellent length. It puts many a Bourgogne Pinot Noir to shame. 

Ca’ di Alte’s Frizzante and Spumante Proseccos also reflect Alberto's winemaking prowess. Delicate, clean and balanced, with 15 - 16 grammes per litre of residual sugar, these sparkling wines are fresh, fruity and easy to drink.
