Sparkling Rosé
This bottling was born from another one of our winemaking traditions – creating new favorites in a spirit of creativity, combined with our experience and expertise. What resulted was a dry sparkling rosé wine that pairs perfectly with a variety of cuisines, and lends a touch of additional festivity to any gathering. This predominantly white wine, with just a kiss of red blended in, creates this sparkling rosé.
Lively and delicate, the first time you welcome this surprisingly satisfying wine to your gatherings won’t be the last.
This pale pink wine brings a full bouquet of pleasing floral aromas with hints of red berry, artfully crafted with a blend of white wine made from Chardonnay and Glera grapes and a red varietal, Malbec. Its flavor is delicate, but vibrant and well rounded, remaining on the palate and making this a deliciously easy-drinking wine.
A tasty, aromatic aperitif, and an exciting companion for your food explorations: savory Italian appetizers, complex seafood dishes, and spicy, exotic seasoning of East Asian cuisines.
THE DETAILS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
The blending of a fine rosé wine is a delicate art, and Santa Margherita is proud to share this delicious masterpiece. We start with a white wine made from the Glera grapes used to produce Prosecco, then add Chardonnay and a small amount of Malbec to add richness and color. This tantalizing blend undergoes a month-long second fermentation followed by 6 months of maturation in pressurized tanks. Only then is this dry, sparkling treasure ready for you to share at your next gathering.
