The Rebelle Mariage Pink Sparkling Rosé from Malauva Casa Agricola

Il Rebelle Mariage Pink of Malauva Casa Agricola is the version sparkling rosé of the famous Pet-Nat by Elisa and Giovanni: a wine with a creative character born from the meeting between the four native white grape varieties of Orvieto Procanico, Malvasia, Drupeggio and Verdello — and the Sangiovese, symbol of the red wines of Central Italy. The production technique is refined and personal: the white grapes are subjected to direct pressing, and the must obtained is then passed over the Sangiovese pomace company for the time necessary to obtain a characteristic pink color and to delicately absorb the aromatic and phenolic components of the red grape. After the fermentation in steel, follows the refermentation in the bottle with the addition of must obtained from a late harvest of the same varieties, and after a few months of refinement on the yeasts the disgorgementA sparkling rosé more structured and complex of the White version, thanks to the contribution of Sangiovese, but equally fresh, lively and drinkable.

The roots of the Frizzante Rosato lie in the techniques of “ripasso” and “saignée”

I rosé wines They have an ancient gastronomic history, but they have never been banal: the color pink of a wine can be obtained through at least three different winemaking techniques, each with its own character. The most widespread is the "bleeding" (bleeding) French, in which after a brief maceration of the red grapes, part of the rosé must is "bled" to concentrate the red wine and obtain a rosé at the same time. The second is the “direct pressing” of red grapes, which produces pale rosés of the Provence type. The third is the “review” of white must on red pomace — a technique chosen by Malauva — which produces rosés more structured and complex of those from direct pressing, thanks to the addition of tannins, anthocyanins, and aromatic compounds from the red grapes to the basic white must. This technique is particularly appreciated in the Italian tradition, where it has historically been used to create rosés of character—a system that revives the great peasant tradition of enhancing every part of the grape without waste. The combination of ripasso with ancestral method refermentation in the bottle (Pet-Nat) is even rarer and more personal: a choice that best expresses the Malauva's creative philosophy in seeking new paths for native vines.
