Preafète Organic D.O.C. – Valtènesi Rosé Wine from Lake Garda

It is known as “the wine of one night” because, historically, its characteristic pink colour was achieved by leaving the wine in contact with the grape skins overnight. The winemaking process begins at dawn, when the grapes are still covered in the freshness of the morning dew. After careful selection, the grapes are gently placed in the press together with the stems and undergo a pressing technique known as crémant, which allows the heart of the grape to be extracted. In addition, a 3–4-hour cryomaceration of the skins helps preserve the wine’s delicate aromas and structure while limiting colour extraction. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, using indigenous yeasts to enhance the wine’s natural aromas and finesse. After ageing on fine lees for approximately 5–6 months, the wine reaches its optimal expression and is bottled, ready to showcase the full character and purity of its terroir. Grape varieties: predominantly Groppello, an indigenous grape variety of Valtènesi, together with Marzemino, Barbera and Sangiovese.
