Special treatment for the Pinot Grigio
This Caleo Pinot Grigio Blush is made from Pinot Grigio grapes. We can already hear you thinking, "Isn't this a white grape?" Indeed, it is. But the winemakers at Caleo are so passionate about crafting exceptional wines that, after extensive research, they've managed to achieve this light blush. By allowing the grapes to ripen in the vineyards longer than they normally would, the Pinot Grigio skins begin to discolor. The skin color then darkens, developing a beautiful pinkish hue. Once the grapes are hand-picked, they are transported to the winery in small crates. Using small crates of no more than 10 kilos minimizes damage to the grapes during transport. Once arrived at the press, the skins are soaked for a few hours to achieve the pink blush. After vinification and aging in stainless steel vats, this delicious rosé is ready to be served.
Rosé is often served in the catering industry
The final result of this Caleo Pinot Grigio Blush is certainly impressive! It's been a bestseller in our range for years, and we hope to maintain that position for many years to come. The color alone is stunning; the pale pink feels incredibly summery. This Caleo Pinot Grigio Blush Rosé has hints of red fruit and blossom in its aroma. The palate truly unleashes its full potential, a true Rosé Blush: fresh, red fruit notes of strawberry, raspberry, and berries. Hints of citrus and green apple also complete the experience. It's no wonder this Caleo Pinot Grigio Blush Rosé is one of the most popular house wines in the Netherlands. In Italy, the Caleo winery is known for offering the best value for money.
