BOTTEGA PETALO MANZONI MOSCATO ROSÉ

Introduction:

This sparkling rosé wine is the result of the valuable selection  carried out at the beginning of the 20th century by professor  Luigi Manzoni, principal of the Oenological School in  Conegliano. Several hybridization tests led to the creation of  several crossings, among which Incrocio Manzoni 13.0.25. This code refers to a specific system used by the professor in  his registers. Incrocio Manzoni is a crossinig between Raboso  Piave and Muscat of Hamburg.

Il Vino dell’Amore Petalo Moscato Manzoni Rose is a delicately sweet rose sparkling wine with low alcohol content and a beautiful scent of roses that evokes the image of petals on the label.
It has delicate aroma of roses and fruity notes of cherry, raspberry, ripe citrus fruits and final spicy notes of sage. 

Production Area:

> Grapes are grown on alluvial lands made of sand, gravel, clay and limestone. These draining soils also provide a source of nutrients and water to the vine. 

> The area is protected against cold winds and benefits from the proximity to the Adriatic Sea, forming ideal conditions for winegrowing.

Production Process:

After the harvest, the bunches are gently pressed removing stems and the must is left in contact with the skins for 12-16 hours at 5 °C. Cold maceration allows for the extraction of: 

> Color > Primary aroma of the grapes, located in the inner part of the skin > Mannoproteins and other polysaccharides. This procedure creates a pinkish must, richer in varietal aromas and more structured. 

> Thanks to the low temperature, the fermentation is stopped and less tannins and polyphenols are extracted, as they would lead to bitter and astringent features. 

> The must is then softly pressed to separate it from the skins. 

> Fermentation occurs with the addition of selected yeasts, in accordance to the Martinotti method, in cuve close at a controlled temperature of 14-15 °C. 

> The wine is then cold stabilized, filtered and bottled. 

> Manzoni Moscato Bottega, an expression of the uniqueness of its vine, represents the care and attention towards each production phase and fine packaging, which have always been the distinctive features of Bottega. The particular pink bottle is made with an exclusive process of metallization.
