Sommariva Spumante Rosato Extra Dry Il Rosa 2013
Other Grape | Italy
Raboso is an indigenous grape variety very rich in acidity. Vines are in Conegliano common, immediately outside the Prosecco Superiore area. Vines are sustainably farmed, the equivalent of lutte raisonnee in France.
For several generations the Sommariva family worked the vines on the high plains of the Veneto, growing a mix of French and local varietals and selling off most of their crop as was common practice at the time, but it was Caterino Sommariva who pinpointed the slopes as the best place for vines and began purchasing hillside vineyards together with his wife Urbana in the 1970s.
