WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Castelmare Prosecco Rosé Extra Dry is produced using the Martinotti/Charmat Method, involving a secondary fermentation in pressurized tanks. This technique is characteristic of Prosecco production and is designed to preserve freshness and create lively carbonation. The wine is a blend of Glera and Pinot Noir grapes, with the latter contributing the rosé color and specific flavor notes. The Prosecco DOC Rosé regulations require a minimum of 85% Glera and 10-15% Pinot Noir. The wine is typically intended for consumption within a few years of release to maintain its optimal freshness.
