WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Pasqua Prosecco Rosé Extra Dry 2021 is produced using the Charmat method, a technique involving a secondary fermentation in steel autoclaves that lasts for approximately 60 days. This process is designed to maintain the wine's freshness and create a lively effervescence. The wine is a blend primarily of Glera grapes, with the addition of Pinot Noir, which contributes to its rosé color and adds structure. The grapes are sourced from the Veneto region. The winemaking philosophy at Pasqua Vigneti e Cantine balances heritage with contemporary methods to create wines that reflect their origin.
