Metodo Classico Nebbiolo Rosato Rosanna Extra Brut - Ettore Germano

Embraced by the soft, radiant glow of its pink hue, the Rosanna Rosé Extra Brut Metodo Classico is a testament to the art of winemaking at its most intentional and refined. This exquisite wine is born from the Nebbiolo grape meticulously cultivated in the Langhe region on sun-kissed slopes at elevations of 300-400 meters. The vineyards, with an ideal south to southwest exposure, are rooted in the rich, clay-limestone soils peppered with a sprinkle of sand, embodying the essence of their terroir. Averaging 15 years, these vines are the source of a select harvest that commences in early September, focusing on Nebbiolo grapes chosen for their vibrant acidity and perfect ripeness, setting the stage for the Metodo Classico’s elegance. The journey from grape to glass is a study in precision: the primary fermentation is carried out in vertical stainless steel tanks to ensure the wine’s character is captured in its purest form. As spring unfolds, the base wines are artfully blended, initiating the second fermentation within the bottle itself. This process, followed by a meticulous maturation on the lees for no less than 18 months, infuses the wine with its signature complexity and depth. Upon tasting, the Rosanna Rosé Extra Brut reveals its finesse through a delicate perlage and an arresting bouquet of red and white fruits mingled with floral notes, all accented by a nuanced whisper of bread crust. The palate is embraced by a full body and a vibrant freshness that lingers, balanced by a touch of tannic austerity and leading to a sapid, sweetly persistent finish. This wine's remarkable versatility ensures it is perfectly suited to grace a wide array of culinary moments, from refined aperitifs to the rich flavors of both raw and cooked seafood, elegant pastas, and succulent red meats, making it an unparalleled companion for any dining experience.
