Extra Brut Rose

Nerello Mascalese has great potential for the production of sparkling wines in the classical method. A prolonged aging on the lees brings greater aromatic complexity, a great length and a very fine foam. Over the years the acidity is balanced with softness, generating harmony and making the dosage superfluous.
