WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Karl Fredrik Prosecco Brut Rosé is produced using the Martinotti/Charmat method, a technique involving secondary fermentation in pressurized tanks. This process ensures the preservation of fresh aromas and the development of a fine mousse, with a minimum of 60 days dedicated to this stage. The primary grape is Glera, with a blend of 10-15% Pinot Noir contributing color and complexity, adhering to the Prosecco DOC Rosé regulations. Fermentation is carefully controlled to maintain the desired aromatic profile. The wine is intended for early consumption to best appreciate its youthful vibrancy.
