More questions
In the heart of Salento, the Paolo Leo family perpetuates a winemaking tradition that blends innovation with respect for the land. The Spumante Negroamaro Bianco Brut "Rosarose Blanc" represents one of the house's excellences, combining the typicality of Negroamaro in an exceptional white brut sparkling wine.
"Rosarose Blanc" is crafted through a meticulous winemaking method that begins with nighttime grape harvesting to preserve their freshness. This is followed by a gentle pressing and controlled temperature fermentation, culminating in maturation in stainless steel tanks that preserve the varietal characteristics. The final phase involves a secondary fermentation in an autoclave using the long Charmat Method, which enhances the wine's aromatic complexity.
Visually, it presents with a fine and persistent perlage, while the color is a light straw yellow with greenish reflections. On the nose, the sparkling wine bursts with aromas of white flowers, citrus, and hints of white-fleshed fruits like peach and pear. The taste confirms this aromatic freshness, supported by lively acidity and a balanced structure that leaves the palate pleasantly clean.
Ideal as an aperitif, Paolo Leo's "Rosarose Blanc" pairs magnificently with light appetizers, fish dishes, and seafood. Its liveliness makes it perfect for accompanying festive moments and celebrations.
A bottle of "Rosarose Blanc" carries with it not just the quality of the wine, but also the history of a territory steeped in winemaking culture, continuously surprising wine enthusiasts with its ability to offer unique and distinctive products.
