Riva dei Frati Prosecco DOC Rose Extra Dry Millesimato, Veneto

Riva dei Frati Prosecco DOC Rosé Extra Dry Millesimato is a joyful and very modern expression of Veneto sparkling wine, made in the rolling hills between Treviso and the Piave River where cool breezes from the Dolomites keep fruit bright and fragrant. Prosecco Rosé is a relatively new style, blending Glera with a touch of Pinot Nero, and when it is done as a millesimato it means all the fruit comes from a single vintage, giving extra depth and personality. Riva dei Frati works with hillside vineyards where clay and limestone soils bring both freshness and a gentle creamy texture, allowing the wine to feel far more serious than a simple aperitif while still being irresistibly drinkable.

In the glass it glows a delicate pale pink with fine, persistent bubbles. Aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, rose petal and citrus peel rise from the glass, followed by a subtle hint of pastry and almond. The palate is lively yet softly rounded, with red berry fruit, juicy pear and a gentle touch of sweetness balanced by bright acidity and a clean, refreshing finish. It is perfect with seafood, prosciutto, sushi, light pasta dishes and summer salads, and it also shines on its own as a celebratory pour. This is Prosecco Rosé at its best, elegant, vibrant and full of Italian charm, made to be shared.
