Zucchetto Baccarat Extra Brut Rosato Prosecco DOC Treviso Paolo Zucchetto
Until last harvest only white Prosecco was permitted under DOC regulations, but in 2020 Prosecco Rosato were produced for the first time. Carlo’s first ever rosé is quite deep in colour, with vinous and redcurrant aromas. Produced from a blend of 88% Glera with 12% Pinot Noir. The Pinot was sourced from a small organic farm at altitude – Zucchetto estate is 100% Glera – and Carlo’s challenge was to find a Pinot with the appropriate colour and acidity. It is medium bodied with nice weight and depth and a crisp finish.
