Gancia Prosecco Rosé (75cl, 11%)

Gancia Prosecco Rosé is an Italian sparkling rosé wine made under the Prosecco DOC designation. It is produced by the Charmat method, with primary fermentation at a controlled 25°C, and blends Glera from Prosecco DOC vineyards across the Veneto with 10–15% Pinot Noir. The Pinot Noir base wine is obtained through pomace pressing to extract colour and structure without excess tannin. Gancia was founded in 1850 in Canelli, Piedmont, by Carlo Gancia. The wine is best served well chilled, between 6–8°C, in a tulip-shaped glass. On the nose, fresh red berries lead, followed by candied cherry, delicate blossoms and zesty citrus. The palate shows lively, fine-beaded bubbles carrying macerated raspberry and pomegranate, with crisp green apple at mid-palate and subtle weight from the Pinot Noir. The finish is persistent and zippy, with lingering floral and fruity notes tapering into a clean, ever-so-slightly sweet close.
