Grapes sourced for Ruffino Prosecco Rosé are from highly sought-after vineyards located in the Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto regions of Northeastern Italy, an area known for highquality sparkling wine production.

As with every sparkling wine, the production of Prosecco Rosé occurs in two stages. In the first stage, a white still wine is made from Glera grapes and a second still red wine is made from Pinot Noir grapes. These two wines are then blended, creating a still wine with a beautiful rose hue. This blend then undergoes second vinifi cation in-tank called the Charmat method—where, using selected yeasts, secondary fermentation (lasting approximately one month) takes place in pressurized tanks before the wine is bottled under pressure. The Charmat method is well-suited for wines made from aromatic grape varieties since it preserves the character of the grapes, thus yielding fresh, fruity, and fragrant sparkling wines.

Food Pairing: Ideal as an aperitif, but also quite versatile as a food companion, pairing well with a variety of dishes including grilled fish, roasted chicken, and fresh salads.
