Treviso, Verona, Veneto, ItalyRosé Gold is a newer addition to their ever-expanding lineup, with the appellation changes allowing for Prosecco Rosé. This is entirely pinot nero, from the marl/limestone/clay soils of southern Lombardy (what Sandro Bottega considers a superior place for the grape). After 24 hours on skins for a cold maceration, this was fermented in stainless before heading to the Charmat tanks for secondary ferment and a brut dosage of 10-12 g/L. Like the classic Gold, this is packaged in a trademarked mirrored bottle and is the bigger, more serious sibling to the Poeti bottling. Perfumed raspberries, wild strawberries float along a pretty, frizzante palate, finely graded with pinot nero's structure, and finishing on a clean, brisk note. The sugar is held in check by easy, bright acidity. Enjoy now, for elevated prosecco occasions (Mother's Day?)Tasted: 03 May 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Treviso, Verona, Veneto, ItalySandro Bottega is a force across the Prosecco business, and his Bottega Gold series, sold in painted bottles of gold, silver, and now pink, have gained iconic status overnight. Bottega Gold Rosé is a 100 percent pinot noir, with a pale pink colour resulting from limited skin contact. Fresh and lively, the 11.5 percent alcohol, lightly effervescent pink is fun to quaff. The nose is floral and fruity, while the palate is equally lively, mixing red berries with just the right amount of acidity — a great wine to start Valentine's Day and equally fun to unwrap as a gift.Tasted: 01 February 2021Tasted by: Prices:
