This makes this rosé wonderfully fresh and balanced.
The best vineyards of Codorniu
Codorniu is one of the oldest family-owned wineries in Spain. For over 460 years, they have dedicated themselves to producing wines and champagnes. They own 10 vineyards in the world's finest wine regions. The Pinot Noir grape for this Rosé comes from Costers del Segre, where a continental climate prevails; the Trepat grape comes from Conca de Barbera, with a continental climate; and finally, the Xarello grape comes from the central Penedes plain, with a Mediterranean climate. Each grape has been able to develop under the best conditions, giving this Rosé a unique calling card.
Around the beginning of August, the grapes for Ars Collecta Rosé are harvested. To avoid high temperatures and the resulting loss of freshness, the grapes are harvested at night. They are then taken directly to the winery, where the must is gently pressed in a pneumatic press. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 17 degrees Celsius. After blending, the grapes are aged for an impressive 35 months.
