Fiol Rosé Prosecco ($22)
FIOL(FEE-yol) Prosecco DOC Rosé is a new Prosecco that launched in the U.S. just in time for summer!
More than just another Prosecco, FIOL Prosecco DOC Rosé is a sophisticated, distinctive Prosecco with a big personality. Their goal was to produce Prosecco in the authentic style, from the original Prosecco heartland in Treviso, before Prosecco became trendy. A Prosecco that goes back to its roots, reminding us all why Prosecco went on to take center stage in sparkling wines and why everyone has fallen in love with it.
Behind FIOL are childhood friends Gian Luca Passi and Giovanni Ciani Bassetti, whose families have lived and farmed in the Prosecco heartland of Treviso for generations.
FIOL Prosecco DOC Rosé is produced using the Charmat Method, in Stainless Steel tanks, to preserve the fresh and vibrant flavors using 85% Glera and 15% Pinot Noir grapes that are fermented for a minimum of 60 days.
This FIOL Prosecco is a beautiful pale salmon color with subtle aromas of strawberry and raspberry from the Pinot Noir that go nicely with the lemon and white flower aromas of the Glera. On the palate, this Prosecco also has delicate notes of the strawberry along with the light bubbles and crisp acidity. [ABV: 11%, RS: 13 g/l]
This FIOL Prosecco Rosé is great as an aperitif, along with everyday meals or a real treat for special occasions. And, at this price, is a great value! That makes it the perfect fit as this week’s Behind the Cork™ Wine of the Week! Cheers!
