Product Information

In short, yes. Prosecco must contain a minimum of 85 per cent glera grapes, while Champagne uses different grapes and can only be labelled as such if it comes from the Champagne region in France. Eleven years after Polegato introduced the visionary idea, the DOC consortium approved Prosecco rosé, which contains 85 percent Glera in 2020. The new category is expected to expand wine sales by 10-15 percent.

The Prosecco Rosé presents itself revealing a pomegranate nuance edged with soft pink reflections. The nose is subtle and fresh, offering hints of small red fruits. Notes of rose and pomegranate complete this elegant and intense aromatic profile. On the palate, it is silky and full, presenting a very pleasant balance between the fruity and floral notes. Pairing Recommendation Prosecco is inherently Italian and an expression of terroir, especially when choosing not to blend estates but honor the biodiversity of each. It is the care in production and appreciation for the land that lends itself to Proseccos growing in popularity. It’s accessible, fresh, and affordable — a drink for any and every occasion — and in the case of La Gioiosa, a pure expression of the land. When you choose La Gioiosa, you’re choosing authentic Italian flavor without compromise.

La Gioiosa Prosecco Rose DOC Millesimato, 1 x 750ml, label

Predominantly made from the glera grape, native to north-east Italy, this pink prosecco gets its rosy hue from adding 10-15 per cent pinot nero (aka, pinot noir). The end result is a pretty pink wine with fine, persistent bubbles. Just like the prosecco you already know and love, you can expect apples and blossom on the nose, but also red berries. Fresh, elegant and super-versatile, we expect this new style to be a hit. La Gioiosa is also the leader in producing environmentally friendly Prosecco, using alternative energy sources like solar power and hydroelectric power generated by the Piave River. Currently, the estate is converting its vineyards to earn the Biodiversity Friend Certification from the World Biodiversity Association. This requires enacting protocols to help encourage insect and animal life in the vineyards, thus bolstering the vitality of the soils and vines. A Unique Take on Prosecco

Notably, La Gioiosa owner Giancarlo Moretti Polegato was the first to propose a Prosecco rosé to the Prosecco DOC consortium, recognizing a gap in the market. La Gioiosa had been growing Pinot Noir for more than four decades.
