Vineyards and winemaking
Made from 90% Glera and 10% Pinot Nero grown in the Treviso hills, this Prosecco DOC Rosé combines the freshness and floral character of Glera with delicate red-fruit notes from Pinot Nero. The vineyards are planted on clay-limestone soils in a warm climate moderated by cooler influences.
The grapes are gently pressed and vinified in white and rosé before secondary fermentation in stainless-steel pressure tanks using the Charmat method. Around 10g/L of residual sugar gives a balanced Brut style, retaining freshness, fruit purity and a fine, lively mousse.
Tasting notes
Appearance
Delicate rose-petal pink with a fine, persistent stream of bubbles.
Nose
Fresh aromas of pear and apple are joined by red berries and wild flowers.
Palate
Light-bodied, fresh and elegant, with crisp orchard fruit, delicate red-fruit character and bright acidity. The finish is clean, balanced and softly fruity.
Food pairing
An excellent aperitif and a versatile partner for smoked salmon, shellfish, light charcuterie, antipasti and delicate summer dishes.
Background story
Il Follo is based at the foot of the renowned Cartizze hill in Valdobbiadene, an area with a long tradition of viticulture. The estate takes its name from the small local winegrowing village of Follo and produces a range of sparkling wines from vineyards in and around the Treviso hills.
