This Gaudensius Rosè is a true author's Classic Method, which stands out for its uniqueness and which brings with it a selected collection of Nerello Mascalese grapes with great character
It is a very refined, pleasant Classic Method Spumante, with notes of red fruits and raspberries that give very fresh sensations on the palate.
Its harvest takes place through the soft and gradual pressing of its bunches, then the Vinification instead takes place with a short maceration in contact with the skins.
The Gaudensius Rosè is then aged in contact with the lees for at least 30 months
At sight it has a pale pink color, while the nose is very lively, with fragrances of red fruits, flowers and some pastry notes.
On the palate it is very full, soft, creamy and with a long persistence.
Since the early 1980s, Salvatore Di Gaetano's winemaking passion has been attracted by a particular place, the district of Firriato, in the extraordinary countryside of the city of Trapani, an agricultural area deeply marked by the cultivation of vines and the culture of wine, located between the beautiful sea of the Trapani coast and the majestic fortress of the ancient city of Erice.
Behind a great wine there is always a great wine-growing area with characterizing soil and climatic conditions. All the agricultural estates of Firriato have a particularity, for exposure, microclimate, soil composition and ventilation. From east to west, we pass from mountain viticulture on the Etna volcano, to that of the sea of the Egadi islands on the island of Favignana, passing through the exclusive contexts of the Trapani countryside. The company's philosophy puts everything at the center of everything: method, territory, pride and iron-clad love. To present the excellence of Sicily and Sicilian wines to the world.
The recognition of the qualities of a soil and the in-depth knowledge of the vineyard-territory interaction are the keystone of the work that Firriato has carried out in all his estates. In particular, in Cavanera Etnea, where it produces Gaudensius Blanc de Blancs, a classic method sparkling wine born from the vinification of Carricante and Chardonnay, white berried grapes. The Carricante grapes, endemic and typical of Etna, come from the Cavanera Etnea estate, while the Chardonnay is the expression of the hills of a cru of the Borgo Guarini vineyard, in the Trapani countryside, where its grapes lend themselves well to a process of sparkling wine like the same bred in the Champagne area. Gaudensius Blanc de blancs, therefore, represents the perfect synthesis between two different terroirs but belonging to the same island.
