WINE MAKING PROCESS
Rovellats Imperial Brut Rosé 2020 is produced using the traditional method, a process involving a second fermentation in the bottle to create its effervescence. The rosé color is achieved through the saignée method, where red Garnacha grape skins have brief contact with the juice. Following primary fermentation, the wine undergoes aging on its lees for a minimum of nine months, a crucial step in developing the wine's complexity and fine bubble structure. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness to ensure a balance of fruit and acidity, forming the foundation for this sparkling wine.
