HISTORICAL AND TECHNICAL NOTES
Our first great experiment in making a Sparkling wine made from the Negroamaro grape; a real challenge during a time when making a bubbly in Salento was still only a vague idea. Born from the collaboration with a noted Venetian producer and now produced entirely at our cellars in Cellino San Marco, Melarosa is the perfect sparkling Rose wine with a fresh and vibrant style.
The carefully selected Negroamaro grapes are harvested at the end of August to preserve their fresh acidity and then vinified in the Rose fashion with a brief period of skin contact before using the Charmat method to create the sparkle.
