Leonia Rosé 2015 features a pale pink colour with delicate highlights ranging from salmon to coppery nuances. Its brilliance and fine, persistent perlage complete its elegant, seductive nature. Red fruit and citrus notes characterise the bouquet, which then intrigues with spicy notes and mellow orange blossom. With time, these delicately fresh sensations give way to hints of pastry and crisp bread, due to the ageing on the lees. Light toasted notes are the finishing touch. Fresh, soft, elegant and well balanced on the palate. The fine perlage caresses and tickles the taste buds. Metodo Classico Brut offers a long and persistent finish, as well as a decisive after-taste ranging from citrus blossom to fruit.

The grapes, harvested by hand, arrived in the cellar in 15 kg crates in the cooler hours of the day. They were pressed gently, which guaranteed a clear must with a mild concentration of anthocyanins to be extracted. A 12-hour cold clarification process produced an even clearer substance, decisive in the creation of the qualitative harmony that characterized our Leonia Rosé.

Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a constant and controlled temperature; a small part (15-20%) was fermented in wood. March saw the assemblage phase of the different cuvées, followed by the tirage, with subsequent ageing on the lees for 36 months. Following the remuage and dégorgement, Leonia Rosé remained in the bottle for several months before being placed on the market. This brought further harmony and sensory balance.
