Maschio Prosecco Rosé Extra Dry DOC 2023

About

Maschio is a leading Italian Prosecco brand, bringing premium DOC-quality Prosecco to American tables, rooftops, picnics, or wherever and however it is that you enjoy your wine. Our wine production in the historic Prosecco appellation is certified sustainable. We only use the first pressing juice (the best a grape has to offer) for our wines. Dedicated to doing one thing well, we have a Prosecco for every palate and every occasion.

Terroir

The Prosecco region is situated between the Adriatic Sea and the foothills of the Italian Alps. Sandwiched between mountains and sea, the hilly vineyards of the region enjoy a temperate climate and elevated rainfall, which favors the production of the Glera grape. This climate yields grapes with a balanced acidity content – in particular malic acid – essential for the refined freshness and for the structure of the sparkling wine that will be obtained.

Vinification

After soft pressing of the grapes, vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks and with the use of selected yeasts. During the subsequent second fermentation, Saccharose and selected yeasts are added to this blend. The product undergoes a slow “second fermentation” which results in a very fine and persistent perlage. After approximately 30 days, when the residual sugar content is 12 g / I, refermentation is stopped by bringing the temperature to 32°F. The product is then kept at “rest” on the yeasts for another month, and these are then separated by the wine with “tangential” filtration.

Tasting Notes

Light pink with typical copper hues. Hints of white flowers from Glera variety with violet and raspberry notes from Pinot Nero. On the mouth, the wine is full-bodied, with a clearly perceivable aftertaste of berries. Serve chilled at 42-56˚F.

Food Pairing

Ideal as an aperitif, it also pairs beautifully with and first course.
