Bottega, the family-owned Italian winery and distillery, has introduced a Prosecco Doc rosé on the European and UK markets.
The new rosé, Il Vino dei Poeti Prosecco Doc Rosé Bottega, is produced from a blend of Glera (85 per cent) and Pinot Noir (15 per cent), which creates the sparkling wine's characteristic pink colour and aromatic complexity. On the nose, there are fruity hints of cherry and berries along with delicate floral notes in the finish. On the palate it is fresh, lively and pleasantly dry.
There are three other sparkling wines available from Bottega: Il Vino dei Poeti Prosecco Doc, Bottega Gold Prosecco Doc and Bottega Rose Gold Pinot Nero, all decked in the brand's distinctive stylish packaging.
Bottega is a third-generation family-owned company located in Bibano, Treviso, around 45km north of Venice, that has been producing premium-quality typical Italian wines, grappa and spirits and food products since 1977.
The group also runs a winery in Valpolicella and one in Montalcino. It manages several more brands amongst which are Alexander, Bottega and Cantina dei Poeti. Its products are distributed in more than 140 countries.
