Diva Moretti Polegato, Export Area Manager & 4th generation Villa Sandi family member, joins us today to tell us why Prosecco Rosé is the perfect beverage to have with your Boo before date night!

The Pairing: It's date night! You're getting ready to hit the town with your hot date. Maybe you're cooking for your partner. You put out a small plates of cheeses, meats, and finger foods.. but what could pair with all of these? The Answer: Prosecco Rosé!

Why the Pairing Works:  Bubbles bubbles bubbles! Bubbles cleanse the palate and invite you to take another bite. The mouth-watering acidity of this Rosé is the perfect complement to any fare.

What Makes This Wine Special:

  • After harvest, Villa Sandi freezes the Must (un-fermented grape juice) and keeps it frozen until they need to produce wine for the market. They are the only Prosecco producer to utilize this "on-demand" method of creating the absolute freshest sparkling wine possible
  • Wines made in the Champagne Method (bottle fermentation) often contain biscuity and toasty notes from lees aging. Prosecco is made using the Charmat, or "Tank Method," and the dead yeast cells are filtered out. This creates a sparkling wine that emphasizes freshness and fruitiness
  • The relatively new category of Prosecco Rosé includes a minimum 15% Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) which adds body, acidity, and delicious red fruits like strawberries, cherries, and raspberries. The Villa Sandi Prosecco Rosé is 'Brut' and drier than most styles, making it even easier to pair. Delicious!

    • Diva's Last Supper: Al Dente Spaghetti with homemade red sauce, an entire wheel of Parmesan cheese, and Villa Sandi "Cartizze" Prosecco
