Ca di Alte Prosecco Rose 2025

This Prosecco Rosé is a beautiful peach pink in colour, with a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, intense aromas of peach, raspberry and ripe passion fruit are abundant. On the palate, it is full-bodied and fresh, with a pleasant acidity and harmonious flavours.

The grapes are grown primarily on the hills south of Vicenza, the Colli Berici, where the hillside sites ensure lower yields and better ripeness of the grapes. The vineyards are located on a south-west facing slope at 300-400 metres above sea level. The soil here is calcareous and of volcanic origin. Vines are 10 to15 years old on average and trained in the Guyot system. They are planted to a density of 3,500 to 4,000 vines per hectare. The hillside sites experience cooler nights, allowing the aromatic compounds of the grapes to develop.

After arriving at the winery, the grapes were carefully selected, destemmed and crushed. The whole clusters were gently pressed in a pneumatic press. A short maceration took place for 24-36 hours at 8-10°C, followed by a cool, slow, temperature-controlled fermentation in 100-hectolitre stainless-steel vats, during which selected yeasts were added. The second fermentation took place in low-temperature, pressured tanks, allowing for the formation of bubbles.

Ca' di Alte was created by winemaker Alberto Marchisio. Although Piemontese himself, he has been working in the Veneto for some years. He joined Cantina Colli Vicentini as director and winemaker. The grapes are grown primarily on the hills south of Vicenza, the Colli Berici, where the hillside sites ensure lower yields and better ripeness of the grapes.
