Ca’Viola’s “RITA” is a delicate, crisp, refined rosé made of 100% Nebbiolo grapes, the first rosé from Beppe Caviola from his desire to experiment and innovate. Inspired by Provence and dedicated to Beppe’s mom, Margherita.
Harvested in late September/first week of October, the vinification process starts with gentle pressing, with a percentage of whole grapes in pre-fermentation, static decantation at 4-5°C in contact with the lees for 4-7 days.
Fermentation for about 15 days at 16-17°C, partly in steel, used tonneaux and in ceramic Amphorae.
Ageing and refinement for a period of 4 to 5 months “sur lie”, also in this phase partly in steel, partlyin tonneaux and in ceramic amphora.
Appearance shows a delicate pale cherry pink. The scent is refined with subtle fruity notes of peach, raspberry and floral hints of rose. It is balanced, pleasant, crunchy and lively in the mouth, with a pleasant savory finish.
Food match: perfect with aperitif, suited for light shell-fish and seafood starters, summery dishes with veggies and light pasta dishes. To try as well with various fresh cheeses.
Recommended serving-temperature of 10/12°C.
