Le Morette, 'Cepage' Chiaretto Sparkling Brut Rose NV (750ml)

55% Corvina, 35% Rondinella, 10% Molinara
An approachable brut style with pronounced fruit flavors that generously express watermelon, peach, apricot, and strawberry. The fruit is carefully selected for acidity and balance and the bubbles are persistent and creamy. Sparkling wine isn’t just for special occasions, we think “Cepage” is perfect for celebrating life’s daily pleasures and breaking bread with friends and family.


CHARACTER: Exotic fruit flavors and flowers spring out of the glass, red berries, citrus, and stone fruits combine on the palate with the energy of naturally occurring carbonation. The Charmat method for sparkling wine focuses on a fruit-forward style, making this a great alternative to Prosecco. Very low dosage -6 g/l RS.
