WINE MAKING PROCESS
Casteloro Prosecco Rosé is produced using the tank method (Charmat/Autoclave), where the secondary fermentation that creates the bubbles occurs in pressurized tanks. This method is standard for Prosecco and helps maintain the wine's freshness. The rosé color is achieved by including up to 15% Pinot Noir, which may undergo a controlled maceration period of up to 60 days to extract the desired hue. The wine is primarily made from the Glera grape.
