The LaMarca Prosecco Rose Bottle Overview

Sun-kissed grapes grown in rolling Prosecco hills? Check. The La Marca fam picks their juiciest from those very slopes, near Conegliano, where limestone-rich soil works its magic. Expert Blending? Double check. They hand-pick the best 2021 grapes, including a touch of Pinot Noir gently kissed pink, then work some bubbly tank magic to make it dance. Short and sweet yeast-y slumber? You betcha. This keeps the fruity fun alive and kicking.

The result? A glassful of sunshine trapped in pink! Eight grams of sweetness play tag with zippy acidity, creating a balance that’s both fun and fresh. And let’s talk about that color… it beckons you in like a summer sunset, begging to be sipped.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Prosecco’s vibrant acidity and aromatics lend themselves to a variety of lighter cuisine, with rosé versions equally versatile:

Seafood – Chilled peel n’ eat shrimp, poke bowls with salmon or tuna, ceviche with scallops or halibut all make easy pairings

Cheese – Young funky styles like Robiola pair playfully with the wine’s fruitiness but not too bold to clash

Vegetarian – Dishes with bright flavors like beet salads with citrus vinaigrettes or avocado toast with radishes

Pizza/Pasta – Margherita pizza, cacio e pepe, pesto linguine or light veggie primavera dishes

Dessert – Fresh fruit tarts, meringues with whipped cream, floral infused panna cotta

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Prosecco Rosé different than rosé Champagne?

While both feature a pink hue and bubbles, Prosecco Rosé allows some blending of Pinot Noir for color and fruitiness vs Champagne rosé made solely by limited skin contact with black grapes. And Prosecco is produced via cost effective tank method vs Champagne’s expensive traditional method involving a second bottle fermentation.

What’s a perfect serving temperature for Prosecco Rosé?

43-46°F puts the wine in optimal condition to express fruity aromas and zesty acidity. Warmer than 50°F and the bubbles tend to dominate sensation. Any colder mutes the flavor spectrum.

Can Prosecco Rosé improve with age?

No – these wines are meant to be enjoyed very young, within 1-2 years of the vintage date, while fruitiness remains bright. Extended aging causes them to lose their signature vibrant charm.

Does Prosecco Rosé need to be decanted before serving?

Absolutely not – extended exposure to oxygen causes delicate aromatics and pinpoint bubbles to dissipate. Serve immediately after removing the foil and cage to best showcase the wine’s irresistible bouquet and texture.
