The Prosecco Hills are enhanced and preserved by wineries such as Cantine Riondo ITALY – NEW APPELLATION – Prosecco in the pink of health A combination of confidence and reticence, foresight and respect for tradition, Prosecco Rosé was born in 2020. The pink version of Prosecco, with its own regulations, joins existing white versions of DOC Prosecco produced since 2009, namely Prosecco Frizzante, Spumante and Tranquillo.

ITALY – NEW APPELLATION – In actual fact, many Prosecco companies were already producing the pink version with considerable success, even without stating the name ‘Prosecco’ on the label. For this very reason, the Consortium decided to regulate the production of rosé, thereby enhancing its quality and recognisability, with positive effects on the perception of the region and the other types of Prosecco. Rosé production conditions require that only Glera (85 - 90%) and Pinot noir (10 - 15%) grapes be used, fermented as red wine. Also, on the label the term ‘Millesimato’ is mandatory, followed by the reference vintage of at least 85% of the grapes. Initially, the indigenous Raboso grape (in Veneto) and Refosco (in Friuli) were considered for the blend. The production area matches that for DOC Prosecco, which is located in north-eastern Italy and more specifically in 5 provinces in Veneto (Treviso, Venice, Vicenza, Padua, Belluno) and 4 in Friuli Venezia Giulia (Gorizia, Pordenone, Trieste and Udine). When the grape harvest, winemaking process and bottling take place entirely in the provinces of Treviso and Trieste, the special statement of Treviso or Trieste may be used to emphasise the historical value of the two provinces. The rosé version must be produced entirely by natural fermentation in autoclaves with a winemaking period of at least 60 days. During this period, the yeast can release compounds such as mannoproteins, which have positive effects on colour and effervescence and increase sensory and taste complexity. The colour is a pale pink which varies in intensity, glistens and displays consistent bubbles. The aroma is fine, characteristic and typical of the original grapes. Alcohol content must be at least 11% vol. and minimum total acidity is 4.5 g/l, with a minimum non-reducing extract of 14.0 g/l. In its first year of production, rosé Prosecco was a resounding success. In just 9 months, 54.2 million bottles were produced out of a total 425.5 million of DOC Prosecco. Its current share of 13% of total production underscores the relevance of the project and demonstrates the growing trend worldwide for rosé wines. Here, we review a selection of the most significant Prosecco wineries to demonstrate the growth of the rosé category. Prosecco Rosé offers great versatility in terms of food and wine pairing, something which Cantina La Marca seeks to capitalise on Perfect clusters of Glera grapes grown by one of the 400 members of the Montelliana winery WINTER 2021 GILBERT & GAILLARD - THE FRENCH EXPERTS ON WINE 101
