Masottina Collezione 96 Rosé Prosecco NV
Bright pink with fine, lingering perlage. On the nose notable fragrances of wild strawberries, raspberries, redcurrants and cherries, enhanced by white pulp peaches, apricots and a floral touch. Fresh on the palate, with a predominance of fruit. this is an elegant, pleasantly fruity, delicate wine.
Collezione 96 originates from the outstanding award, 96 points, that Masottina Prosecco DOC Brut achieved at the wine competition held by Decanter Magazine in 2017. Vines are Guyot trained and vineyards tended sustainably according to the standards of National Quality System of Integrated Production (SQNPI. The region's hilly terrain, ranging in altitude, combined with Veneto's varied climate of warm summers and mild winters, provides ideal growing conditions.
The hand picked and selected Glera grapes are vinified at a temperature of 14-18°C. The Pinot Noir grapes undergo brief pre-fermentation maceration for 24-36 hours at a temperature of 8-10°C, followed by red vinification at a temperature of 20-23°C. The two base wines are then blended before prise de mousse, which takes place on selected yeasts at a temperature of 13-14°C for at least 60 days. The wine ages in bottle for a month before distribution.
The story of Masottina can be traced back to the 5 hectares of vineyards acquired in 1946 by Epifanio Dal Bianco. When the manor house overlooking the vineyard was restored, an ancient inscription came to light: Casa Masottina. Hence the name of the historic brand owned by the Dal Bianco family for three generations. Today Masottina wines are the product of almost 300 hectares which extend across the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Hills and the Veneto region. A vine planted area built up over time, consisting of carefully chosen vines cultivated by the family in keeping with the sustainable rules of SQNPI. It is however in the hills of Ogliano that Masottina’s production and quality philosophy is expressed at its best, through the ‘Cru’ wines grown in this unique terroir: R.D.O. Ponente and R.D.O. Levante, which thanks to Wine Spectator have placed the Rive di Ogliano for the first time in the magazine’s TOP 100 most important wines in the world.
