-for local Athens, GA pick-up only-
Acinum’s Prosecco Rosé offers a refreshing and vibrant take on Italy’s beloved sparkling wine, combining the crispness of Prosecco with the elegance of Pinot Noir. Produced in the Veneto region, this Prosecco Rosé is crafted in the Charmat method, where secondary fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine’s fresh and fruity character. The result is a lively, slightly effervescent wine that beautifully balances floral and red fruit notes.
Winemaker & Philosophy: Acinum is known for producing high-quality wines with a focus on expressing the true characteristics of the region. By using sustainable farming methods and minimal intervention winemaking, the estate aims to preserve the natural vibrancy of their wines. The Prosecco Rosé is a fine example of their commitment to creating approachable yet refined wines that reflect the Veneto terroir.
Grape Variety & Terroir: This Prosecco Rosé is a blend of Glera (85%) and Pinot Noir (15%), the latter providing the wine with its delicate pink hue. The vineyards are located in the rolling hills of Veneto, where the cool climate and mineral-rich soils help retain the grapes’ acidity while allowing them to develop a bright fruit profile.
Flavor Profile: On the nose, Acinum Prosecco Rosé bursts with aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, and red cherry, accompanied by hints of white flowers and a subtle citrus note. The palate is fresh and lively, with flavors of red berries, peach, and a touch of lemon zest. The fine, persistent bubbles and balanced acidity lead to a crisp, clean finish with a delicate minerality.
Pairings: Ideal as an aperitif, this Prosecco Rosé also pairs wonderfully with light appetizers, such as bruschetta, smoked salmon, or soft cheeses like burrata. It complements a wide range of seafood dishes, fresh salads, and fruit-based desserts, making it a versatile choice for brunch or celebrations.
