The Sparkling wine Pink Brut Rosé

The Pink Brut Rosato from the Pittaro winery is a quality champagne method sparkling wine. Produced with Pinot Noir (80%) and Chardonnay (20%) grapes grown on the Grave plains of Friuli where the alluvial soil is poor but particularly suitable for growing vines.

The Winemaking
