Unveiling the Essence
The production area boasts a temperate climate characterized by a wide temperature range, imparting richness to the grapes. Winters are dry, while summers are blessed with refreshing breezes, nurturing the vines to perfection. The soil, predominantly sedimentary with marl, offers an ideal foundation, comprising equal parts limestone and clay.
Production Process: Crafting Perfection
From Vine to Bottle
The journey of Bottega Rose Gold begins with meticulous hand-picking and destemming of the grapes. Following this, a gentle 24-hour cold maceration at 5°C facilitates the extraction of color substances and primary grape aromas. Subsequently, soft pressing separates the must from the skins, paving the way for fermentation at a controlled temperature of 18°C.
The Martinotti Method: A Touch of Innovation
Embracing the Martinotti method, the base wine undergoes a second fermentation in cuve close at 14°C, accompanied by selected yeasts. This meticulous process, coupled with extended lees contact, accentuates the wine’s depth and complexity. Before gracing the market, Bottega Rose Gold patiently matures in the cellar, allowing it to regain its equilibrium post-bottling.
