Jefferson Rosé 2019 antine Nervi Conterno
The Jefferson Rosé Sparkling Wine from Cantine Nervi Conterno is a Metodo Classico Dosage Zero, a masterpiece of elegance and complexity crafted exclusively from pure Nebbiolo grapes. With a delicate pink hue and copper reflections, it showcases a fine, persistent perlage, inviting you to experience a wine that embodies the unique character of Piedmont's hills.
The Nebbiolo grapes, harvested in late September, undergo a meticulous vinification and bottle fermentation, followed by a 36-month aging on the lees. This extended lees aging provides the wine with a refined structure, perfect balance, and intriguing aromatic complexity. On the nose, the bouquet reveals intense fruity notes, dominated by aromas of red fruits and wild strawberries, complemented by floral and citrus hints that add freshness and depth.
On the palate, Jefferson Sparkling Rosé is fresh, savory, and persistent, with a balanced structure and roundness enriched by small tannins that lend personality to each sip. The finish, characterized by fruity returns and a mineral touch, lingers on, inviting another taste.
This sparkling wine's name honors Thomas Jefferson, who first encountered Nebbiolo in Piedmont in 1787, describing it as a vibrant, pleasant wine with the energy of champagne. With this Metodo Classico, Giacomo Conterno revives that tradition, creating a sophisticated sparkling wine, perfect to accompany a full meal or pair with smoked salmon, white meats, and fish.
Jefferson Sparkling Rosé is ideal for those who seek authenticity and quality in a bottle that captures the history and savoir-faire of Cantine Nervi Conterno.
