Ca Rosa 'Pink' Spumante NV

Zamboni grew the most beautiful roses in Veneto. Young suitors (and sometimes even bashful husbands) came from miles around to purchase blooms to woo their paramour (or apologise for some misdemeanour). So often did Zamboni's flowers turn unrequited love into a blossoming relationship that customers came from farther and farther afield. And thereby lay the problem. Nature has its limits. And some came so far the blooms wilted by the time they got them home.

Inevitably, people began to question the quality of Zamboni's roses, and he quickly recognised something had to be done. He set about making a sparkling 'pink' wine, as elegant as the flowers themselves, and with a finish as lingering and soft as adoration. We suggest you drink it from a vase.

The Ca Rosa estate was established at the end of the 19th century and today is run by Luis Zambon and his daughter Francesca. Having taken over the estate during recent years, the family help Luis by managing the estate whilst he takes care of the viticulture and vinification. Luis is trained in oenology and winemaking and takes care to ensure the production of healthy grapes to maintain the freshness of his sparkling wines.

Ca Rosa 'Pink' Spumante is made using Glera and Raboso grapes that are grown around Treviso. The fruit is picked at its optimal ripeness. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks before the red and white wines are blended to create a rosé which undergoes the Charmat tank method to produce a sparkling wine.

This sparkling rosé wine is a pale rose colour with fresh floral aromas and hints of strawberry and passion fruit. The red berry fruits follow onto a soft palate and continue to linger on the finish.
