BOTTEGA IL VINO DELL'AMORE PETALO MANZONI MOSCATO ROSê SPUMANTE, 75 CL

Manzoni Moscato Rosè Spumante - cl 75

This sparkling rosé wine is the result of the valuable selection carried out at the beginning of the 20th century by professor
Luigi Manzoni, principal of the Oenological School in Conegliano. Several hybridization tests led to the creation of
several crossings, among which Incrocio Manzoni 13.0.25. This code refers to a specific system used by the professor in
his registers. Incrocio Manzoni is a crossinig between Raboso Piave and Muscat of Hamburg.

Characteristics:

Production Area
>    Grapes are grown on alluvial lands made of sand, gravel, clay
     and limestone. These draining soils also provide a source of nutrients and water to the vine.
>    The area is protected against cold winds and benefits from the
     proximity to the Adriatic Sea, forming ideal conditions for winegrowing.

Production Process
>    After the harvest, the bunches are gently pressed removing stems  and the must is left in contact with the skins for 12-16 hours at 5°C.     
     Cold maceration allows for the extraction of:
     > Color
     > Primary aroma of the grapes, located in the inner part of the skin
     > Mannoproteins and other polysaccharides.
     This procedure creates a pinkish must, richer in varietal aromas and more structured.
>    Thanks to the low temperature, the fermentation is stopped and less     
     tannins and polyphenols are extracted, as they would lead to bitter and astringent features.
>    The must is then softly pressed to separate it from the skins.
>    Fermentation occurs with the addition of selected yeasts,
     in accordance to the Martinotti method, in cuve close at a controlled temperature of 14-15°C.
>    The wine is then cold stabilized, filtered and bottled.
>    Manzoni Moscato Bottega, an expression of the uniqueness of its vine, represents the care and attention towards each production     
     phase and fine packaging, which have always been the distinctive features of Bottega. The precious pink painted bottle helps protecting     
     the wine from the dangerous light-driven oxidation, preserving its freshness and elegance.
