Poggio Costa Prosecco Rose Brut DOC 750ml

Poggio Costa Prosecco Rosé Brut DOC is a light, crisp, dry sparkling wine from the Veneto region in Italy. The producer, Poggio Costa ("The Hill by the Sea"), draws inspiration from coastal Prosecco traditions, emphasizing freshness, minerality, and sustainable farming practices (they're SQNPI certified).

Key Details

• Grapes: Primarily Glera (about 90%) with 10% Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir). This is a deliberate lighter touch—well below the 15% maximum allowed for Prosecco Rosé DOC—to keep it elegant and delicate rather than heavily fruity.
• Style: Brut (dry), with low residual sugar for a crisp, refreshing profile. ABV around 11%.
• Appearance: Very pale pink/salmon hue with fine bubbles (perlage).
• Tasting Notes (consistent across producer and retailer descriptions):
  • Aroma: Pink grapefruit, raspberry, wild strawberry, subtle white peach, rose petals, green apple, and light floral hints from the Pinot Nero.
  • Palate: Refreshing crisp white peach, subtle wild berries, bright fresh raspberries, vibrant red fruit complexity, salty minerality, and a clean, lively finish. It's described as light, vibrant, fruit-forward yet not overly sweet or typical of heavier Prosecco styles.
