"Faìve" Rosé Brut Bio

Faìve, with the accent on the "i", is a Brut and Organic rosé sparkling wine from Nino Franco's historic winery. For once the classic variety of the territory, the Glera grape, of course, makes way for two international varieties that lend themselves to creating a fresh, pink base wine, from which a pleasant Charmat sparkling wine is made. But let's proceed in order. The basic blend is the most classic of the classics. 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. Were it not for the fact that the grapes grow on the hills of Valdobbiadene, one might think we were in Bordeaux and that the next step would be to mature the wine in barriques. On the contrary, in this case the rosé obtained is placed in an autoclave where it undergoes the so-called "presa di spuma", transforming itself into a Brut that is pleasantly fruity and decidedly unconventional, at least for this corner of the Veneto. Intense pink and luminous, the Faìve nose reveals typical scents of small red fruits, with mineral and floral notes. In the mouth it is pleasantly fresh and dry, delicately tannic and effervescent. A sparkling wine with a pleasant persistence, it can easily accompany dishes with an intense flavour such as salami and cheese. Exceptional with aubergine parmigiana and vitello tonnato.
