Chat with Vinny
As Decanter notes, at its best “Prosecco caresses the palate in a way unmatched by other sparkling wines”. And Ca’ Bolani’s rare rosato version adds another sensuous dimension. Exuding Italian chic, it’s gentle, aromatic and slips down a treat.
Tasting notes
Dry, light and gently fizzy with subtle red berry fruit
Aroma
Spiced strawberries, red pears and citrus zest
Like gelati or espresso, Prosecco is thoroughly Italian. The best are handcrafted by artisan producers like the Zonin family, winemakers since 1821. Ca’ Bolani rosato breaks the rules so cannot be labelled Prosecco. Nonetheless, it is 97% Prosecco (the grape) with a dash of Refosco for colour. We think it’s one of the most stylish pinks for your money you’ll find. The family’s estate lies in the premium region of Friuli, and to maximise quality every aspect of production is kept ‘in house’. Winemaker Marco Rabino favours the frizzante style – less fizzy than, say, Champagne, it’s light and zippy with refreshing hints of red pears and strawberries. Serve chilled it’s a great apéritif, and it's delicious too with gamberi rossi – red shrimps.
