Metodo Classico Pittaro

Friuli Venezia Giulia

GRAPES
Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay

VINIFICATION
The grapes (Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay)  refine for several months on their own yeasts, and it's at the end of winter when the blending takes place. Following this is the start of the second, crucial, fermentation: the one in the bottle. The subsequent aging of the wine in contact with the yeasts lasts a minimum of 24 months.

WINE PROFILE AND PAIRING
To the nose, the notes of yeast are well pronounced, while the sensations of fruit are more delicate. Whether it's red, dry, or tropical fruit. On the palate, it is fresh, with good structure, and harmonious. The Pink Brut Rosé is ideal as an aperitif but also pairs well with flavorful appetizers, first courses of fish, meat, or vegetables. It is excellent with fish-based main courses. It excels enjoyed away from meals.
