BOTTEGA ROSE GOLD: THE NEW PRESTIGIOUS SPARKLING WINE BY BOTTEGA

Iaadfs, Orlando, April 7-11, stand Bottega number 309

Bottega Rose Gold is the new sparkling wine that completes the glamorous Bottega wine collection. It follows the worldwide success of Bottega Gold.

The packaging of the bottle is characterized by the charming pink colour and evokes rose gold, the romantic nuance of the metal’s king.

Bottega Rose Gold is a Pinot Noir sparkling wine, produced with a selection of grapes harvested in Oltrepò Pavese. This area, located in Lombardia region (Northern Italy), is largely appreciated by the winemakers. The vineyards cover mostly on the hills (100-300 meters above sea level), where the soils are characterized by marine sedimentary with fine clays.

The grapes are hand picked and vinified at a controlled temperature. The skins stay in contact with the must for 24 hours. Must and skins are then separated with a soft pressing. Fermentation occurs at a controlled temperature of 18° C. During the year which follows the harvest, the obtained wine goes through the sparkling process. Second fermentation in steel containers occurs according to the Italian Charmat method at a controlled temperature of 14° C and lasts 60-90 days.

The peach-coloured wine appears brilliant with a fine and lasting perlage. The bouquet is distinctly flowery with scent of mixed berries, mainly currants and wild strawberries. The taste is fresh, with a good acidity, harmonious, delicate and persistent.

Bottega Rose Gold is a wine to accompany any meal. It goes particularly well with vegetable oil dip, vegetarian dishes, sushi, fish and cheese. It is also a pleasant after-dinner.
