Bottega PETALO MANZONI MOSCATO ROSÉ Sweet

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 crossing between Raboso
Piave and Muscat of Hamburg.

Characteristics:
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.
