Sparkling Rosé Wine
What it is
Prosecco Rosé is a sparkling wine from the Veneto region of Italy. It is made primarily from the Glera grape, with the addition of a small percentage of Pinot Noir grapes to give it its characteristic pink hue. This wine is known for its light, fruity, and floral aromas. It typically has fine bubbles and a refreshing taste. It is often enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with light meals.
How people cook with it

- As a palate cleanser
Serve Prosecco Rosé well-chilled, ideally between 45-50°F (7-10°C). Open the bottle carefully to avoid excessive foaming. It is best enjoyed soon after opening to appreciate its effervescence. For cocktails, combine it with fruit juices, liqueurs, or fresh berries. It can also be a delightful addition to a mimosa or a spritzer, adding a touch of color and a different flavor profile compared to traditional white sparkling wines.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional Prosecco, which is exclusively white, Prosecco Rosé incorporates red grapes (Pinot Noir) to achieve its pink color. This addition can also lend subtle red fruit notes, such as strawberry or raspberry, to the wine's aroma and flavor profile, making it slightly more complex than its white counterpart.
Who it is for
This wine is enjoyed by those who appreciate sparkling wines and are looking for a festive and flavorful option.
How to keep the rest
