Le Colture
Prosecco Rose
Valdobbiadene is located right in the heart of the lively and lush green hills of Prosecco. Le Colture is a winery and a cellar that has been in the hands of the same family since 1500. Cesare and Renato Ruggeri are the current custodians of this extraordinary heritage of experience. They hold large and small production secrets, a knowledge of the territory and its grapes, and an innate sensitivity for the health of the vines — not to mention they provide humor and laughs in the cellar.
The bottles that leave this vineyard, year after year, are the result of the efforts of a well assorted and close-knit family clan. Each member of the family is directly involved in every production phase—running the management of the vines, selecting the grapes, the various stages of the wine-making, all through to marketing and sales.
Tasting Notes
It has a light antique pink color, with color tones that fades to coral pink and an infinite amount of bubbles. Typical smells of Glera comes to the nose, and it has some small red berry fruit hints, almost like wild strawberry, pomegranate, gooseberry, and sage. These evolve to hints of comfit e rose petals. Everything is very elegant and delicate. To the mouth it’s fresh and harmonic, with an optimal flavor. Faded feelings of astringency give a long persistency. It’s complete, with a strong structure and fresh to the palate.
