Prosecco DOC Rosé
9 Conte Collalto, Rosé Extra Dry, Treviso 2020 93
£17-£17.99 Corks of North Street, Selfridges
Treviso, as a sub-zone of the Prosecco DOC, is the source of fresh and lively wines that can rival those of the more prestigious DOCG. This sprightly, pale peach-tinted rosé has a nose that is precise but not overstated, with notes of pomegranate and sweet violets. The palate has a light and airy quality and a mouthwateringly refreshing zing that make it a perfect aperitif. Drink 2022 Alc 11%
10 La Tordera, Tor Sè Rosé Brut, Treviso 2020 93
N/A UK latordera.it
This leading Prosecco Superiore estate sources its new rosé from the hills just outside the DOCG zone. The Glera comes through in the floral and citrus aromas on the nose, complemented by red cherry and almond from the Pinot. Dry, but not too much, the finely textured palate has breadth and underlying structure, and finishes with tangy intensity. Deliciously drinkable. Drink 2022 Alc 11.5%
11 Villa Sandi, Il Fresco Rosé Brut 2020 93
£14.95-£16 Bellavita, Cellar Door Wines, Dolce Vita Club, Tannico
An addition to the extensive range of this top Prosecco Superiore producer, known for its award- winning Cartizze. This has trademark charm on the nose, where delicately aromatic violets and rose mingle with cherry pie, while the palate has a rich, creamy texture with underlying acidity and salty almonds on the long finish. An irresistible aperitif that would also work with shellfish. Drink 2022 Alc 11.5%
12 Le Rughe, Rosé Brut 2020 92
£13.61-£14.95 Beverage Boys, Master of Malt
This Prosecco Superiore producer based in Conegliano also has a property north of the DOCG zone, at the foot of the Dolomites, where the cool, pre-alpine climate gives wines with terse intensity. Delicate pear and violet aromas, with a hint of raspberry, lead to a crisp, dry palate with finely judged perlage and a long, minerally finish. Refined in a classic, international style. Drink 2022 Alc 11.5%
Masottina, Collezione 96 Rosé Brut 2020 91
£12.38 Christopher Keiller
This new addition to Masottina’s top-quality DOCG range is a rosé with a full-on nose of ripe red fruit, honeysuckle and hibiscus, combining the floral notes of Glera with the juicy fruit and lightly tannic influence of Pinot Nero. The palate, at the soft end of the brut scale, has volume – and the finish is long and toothsome. An ‘anytime’ rosé. Drink 2022 Alc 11.5% D
