Acquesi, a producer rooted in Piedmont, presents this Rosato Brut DOC NV, a testament to the region's versatility beyond its renowned still reds. This sparkling rosé adheres to the Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) regulations, ensuring adherence to specific production standards within Piedmont. Crafted from carefully selected local red grape varietals, the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in tank, a method often employed to preserve the vibrant fruit character and achieve a consistent, fine effervescence characteristic of the Brut style. The non-vintage designation allows for blending across harvests, ensuring a consistent house style that balances freshness with subtle complexity, making it an approachable yet sophisticated expression of Piedmontese sparkling wine.
Tasting notes
The Acquesi Piedmont Rosato Brut NV presents a delicate salmon-pink hue, indicative of its gentle maceration. On the nose, an aromatic profile of wild strawberries, redcurrants, and a hint of rose petal emerges, underpinned by a subtle yeasty complexity from its time on lees. The palate is refreshingly crisp, with a lively mousse and a precise acidity that carries flavours of tart cherry and cranberry through to a clean, dry finish. Its balanced structure and persistent effervescence make it an elegant aperitif or a versatile companion to light cuisine.
