Serenello Extra Dry Prosecco Rose
Serenello Extra Dry Prosecco Rose pours a delicate, pale pink in the glass, somewhere between the blush of a rose petal and the faintest hint of copper, with a fine, persistent stream of bubbles rising steadily to form a soft, lasting mousse. It’s a colour that signals the wine’s character before a sip is even taken: light and refined rather than deep or brooding, closer in spirit to a classic Prosecco than to a heavier rosé.
The nose follows through on that promise with real charm. Wild strawberries lead the way, fresh and slightly tart rather than jammy, framed by soft floral notes that lift the aroma without ever overpowering it. There’s a gentle, inviting quality to the bouquet, the kind that rewards a slow first pass of the glass before the palate takes over, and it’s here that the Pinot Nero in the blend makes its presence felt, adding a touch of red-fruited depth that pure Glera Prosecco doesn’t have.
On the palate, the wine is well rounded and precise, with fine bubbles that carry a lively procession of red berries, citrus and ripe peach across the tongue. Being an Extra Dry style, there’s a gentle roundness of sweetness woven through the fruit, just enough to soften the citrus edge and give the wine a smooth, approachable feel, while a clean thread of acidity keeps everything fresh and stops it from ever feeling heavy. The Pinot Nero contributes structure as much as colour here, giving the wine a touch more grip and fruit intensity than a standard Prosecco while keeping it light-bodied and effortless to drink.
The finish is crisp, fresh and satisfyingly persistent, with the strawberry and peach notes lingering alongside the last of the mousse as it fades. Served well chilled, it’s an easy, versatile match for aperitif hour, and pairs just as happily with shellfish, cured meats, light vegetarian dishes and delicate appetisers, food that lets its fruit and colour take centre stage.
Serenello Extra Dry Prosecco Roseis made under the Prosecco DOC Rosé specification, which sets the blend at a minimum of 85% Glera together with 10-15% Pinot Nero, sourced from vineyards across the Prosecco DOC zone that stretches between the Adriatic coast and the foothills of the Alps around Conegliano. The Pinot Nero is what gives the wine its blush colour and red-fruited character, vinified with brief contact with its skins to draw out just enough pigment and flavour before the two grapes are brought together, while the Glera supplies the floral lift and orchard-fruit freshness that define Prosecco’s style more broadly.
Both grapes are pressed gently and fermented separately into still base wines using temperature-controlled stainless steel, a process designed to protect the delicate aromatics of the Glera and the fruit character of the Pinot Nero rather than mask them with any oak influence. The two base wines are then blended in the proportions set by the Prosecco DOC Rosé rules, a step that determines much of the finished wine’s colour depth and flavour balance before a single bubble has formed.
The wine gets its sparkle from a second fermentation carried out in large pressurised autoclaves, using the Martinotti-Charmat method that defines Prosecco production more widely. Prosecco DOC Rosé rules require this process, together with the wine’s time in the autoclave, to run for a minimum of 60 days, longer than is required for standard Prosecco, allowing the wine more time on its lees to build the fine, persistent bubbles and rounded texture that mark it out. Once this secondary fermentation is complete, the wine is cold-stabilised, filtered and bottled under pressure to lock in both the mousse and the aromatics developed during the process. A measured dosage is added before bottling to reach the Extra Dry style, rounding out the wine’s acidity with a touch of sweetness. The result is a Prosecco Rosé built for drinking young, at its best served chilled at around 6-8°C, rather than one intended for extended cellaring.
Glera (Prosecco)
The flavours in Prosecco can vary from green apple and pear to floral notes of honeysuckle, with distinct acidity. Off dry Proseccos tend to display pronounced stone fruit flavours, with certain examples showing a more honeyed character, especially richer, sweeter wines. In some bottles you may find notes of tropical fruit and melon, and even a hint of cream.
Glera tends to produce medium-bodied wines, ranging from crisp, fully sparkling (spumante) to lightly sparkling, much more gentle fizz (frizzante). Generally, Prosecco has lighter, frothier bubbles than Champagne, Cava or Crémant due to being produced in large tanks where the pressure is much lower. The resulting wine can have a tinge of sweetness compared to other famous sparkling wines.
