Terrior
Produced in Veneto’s Prosecco DOC area, this rosé benefits from the region’s temperate climate and mineral-rich soils, which are ideal for the Glera and Pinot Noir grapes used in its production. The warm days and cool nights in Veneto allow the grapes to retain their acidity and aromatic intensity, lending this sparkling wine freshness and complexity.

The Pinot Noir contributes to a gentle, round mouthfeel, enhancing the fruit profile without overpowering the wine’s crisp freshness.
