Send friends a bottle of Rotari Brut Sparkling Wine so they can experience a quintessentially Italian take on a tried and tested French classic.
Named after the Lombard King Rotari who authored the first compilation of Lombard law that included, among others, rules about winemaking, the Rotari Winery serves as the crowning jewel of Gruppo Mezzacorona’s collection of brands known for producing wines using the Metodo Classico of winemaking. Borrowing heavily from the techniques utilized by France’s champagne houses, they are able to craft a trio of tantalizing non-vintage expressions boasting rich flavors while also showcasing the unique terroir of Italy’s Trento DOC region.
Among these is the Rotari Brut Sparkling Wine, a blanc de blanc-style sparkling wine made exclusively from Chardonnay giving it a crisp and refreshing character that makes it an exceptional aperitif and food wine. Each bottle starts its life with the manual harvesting and sorting of the grapes which are then pressed to extract as much of their juice as possible. This juice then undergoes vinification for 3-4 months in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks before being bottled where it is fermented a second time for 35-40 days further enhancing its flavors and giving the wine its signature sparkle.
On the nose, this straw-green wine yields an alluring aroma of white flowers, green and yellow apples, fresh pineapple, and yeasty bread, paving the way for a scrumptious and full-bodied palate of mixed fruits, lemon, almonds, fruity acidity, minerality, and touches of coconut, culminating in a sophisticated and lingering finish.
Best enjoyed alongside pork, poultry, fish, shellfish, soft cheeses, and vegetarian dishes, the Rotari Brut Sparkling Wine is a definite crowd-pleaser making it an excellent gifting material for friends and loved ones.
So don’t hesitate to send a bottle their way today and let them enjoy the flavors of this sumptuous sparkling wine to their heart’s content.
