Prosecco DOC Rosé: An Elegant Revolution for the Appellation
Prosecco DOC Rosé: A Major Evolution for the Appellation
Prosecco is undoubtedly the world's most popular sparkling wine, with production surpassing 483.5 million bottles in 2020. The appellation spans nearly 25,000 hectares in northeastern Italy, where the primary grape, Glera, thrives in an ideal terroir. However, 2020 saw a revolution: the birth of Prosecco DOC Rosé, a category that blends tradition with modernity.
A Regulated and High-Quality Appellation
Prosecco DOC Rosé must meet strict criteria to achieve its status. It consists of a minimum of 85% Glera, with the addition of Pinot Noir (10% to 15%) vinified as red wine to provide color and structure. Unlike white Prosecco, which can be non-vintage, Prosecco DOC Rosé must always indicate a vintage, ensuring consistent quality and better traceability.
The production method follows the Charmat (or Martinotti) method, with a secondary fermentation in a sealed tank for a minimum of 60 days—twice as long as for classic Prosecco. This process extends the contact with the lees, imparting more aromatic complexity and a finer, longer-lasting mousse. The aging requirement in autoclave sets Prosecco DOC Rosé apart from other rosé sparkling wines, some of which ferment for only one to two weeks.
Cantina Trevigiana's Prosecco DOC Rosé Brut
Among the producers who have mastered this evolution, Cantina Trevigiana stands out with its Prosecco DOC Rosé Brut. This wine perfectly embodies the balance between freshness, finesse, and aromatic intensity. Its pale, luminous pink color hints at a nose of great elegance, marked by fresh red fruit notes, citrus, and a floral touch. On the palate, it distinguishes itself with a fine, persistent bubble, supported by beautiful acidity and a crisp, fruity finish. Ideal as an aperitif, it pairs wonderfully with antipasti, seafood, sushi, and fruit-based desserts.
A Promising Future for Prosecco DOC Rosé
Since its introduction, Prosecco DOC Rosé has generated significant enthusiasm. In 2021, 71 million bottles were sold, accounting for about 11% of total Prosecco sales. This rapid growth demonstrates its appeal in international markets and its expansion potential.
Prosecco DOC Rosé is strategically positioned between classic Prosecco DOC and some premium Prosecco Superiore DOCG cuvées. It offers an attractive alternative for consumers seeking novelty and elegance while maintaining excellent value for money.
