<<Demanding wine lovers who are always eager for novelties will discover a wine of great personality and fineness. A small exclusive series that aims high>>. The Rosé Sparkling Wine by Donatella Cinelli Colombini: combines the typical freshness of Italian sparkling wines with the gustatory intensity of long-aged bubbles.
3 YEARS WORK TO CREATE THE NEW SPUMANTE ROSE’
Donatella Cinelli Colombini worked three years for this result, preparing a Sangiovese vineyard with different characteristics from those intended for the classic Tuscan reds << when Josef Reiterer told me to produce more grapes, for me it was a shock>> she says referring to the legendary creator of the sparkling wines “Arunda”, the South Tyrolean winery 1,200 meters above sea level, who supported her throughout the project as a consultant.
For the brut rosé by Donatella Cinelli Colombini a dark and cold room (12 ° C) was built in the cellar of the Fattoria del Colle. Investments but above all a lot of manual skills with the traditional pupitres where the bottles are turned day after day by the cellar staff of the first Italian winery with an all-female staff.

Even the packaging has an author’s touch with the label signed by Alessandro Grazi, Sienese painter of international fame. From the canvas of Pienza in the texture of the label, to the ecological coiffe, up to the capsule with the traditional dove symbol representing Donatella Cinelli Colombini and the screen-printed box, everything has been designed for a demanding, refined public that is eager for small exclusive jewels.
An audience that loves Tuscany and its traditions such as preparing effervescent wines for weddings and baptisms. A custom that this sparkling wine has respected since it was served in preview for the wedding of Enrico and Violante Cinellicolombini JR.
