Botter Prosecco Rose Millesimato 2020 750ml

The 2020 Extra Dry Rosé Prosecco pulls you close to the glass with a rich, fruit-forward display of citrus-tinged apple and nectarine contrasted by hints of savory herbs and crushed stone. This is soft with a silken bead of fine bubbles, casting ripe fruits across a core of juicy acidity; sweet spices emerge toward the close. The balance here is on point, leaving the palate completely refreshed under an air of pretty inner florals.

Varietal

Champagne Blend

The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn’t unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as ‘blanc de blanc’, meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or ‘blanc de noir’, which is made solely with Pinot Noir.
