Italian Rosé

Welcome to the Italian Rosé Line Up, showcasing some award-winning rosé’s from Italy, each has their own character, each unique in its own way, but one thing does combine them all, they all want to be popped open and enjoyed, so let’s get into it.

1 Maso Martis

The story of Maso Martis began in 1990, a few years before the birth of their two daughters Alessandra and Maddalena, when they bought their farm, they started producing their Sparkling Wine before the TrentoDOC brand had really taken off.

They live in a house located in the heart of their vineyards, and for over 30 years the family has been putting their love and passion into making their Sparkling Wines, with 6 bottles to choose from, your sure to find one that you like.

Pisoni started back in 1852, their vineyards are located in Valle die Laghi in the Italian province of Trentino, which is where the UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site, the Brenta Dolomites meets the northern part of Lake Garda. They have a long family history of traditions at Pisoni.

They offer wine tours and guided tours, along with organised events that take place every season such as harvesting, wine tastings and wine workshops. They also have their Sarica Wine Bar which can seat 80 people and is perfect for events, banquets, or just popping in for a glass of bubbly.

When it comes to nature, Pisoni makes sure they protect it, they believe that “nothing is accomplished by force” which is why they apply the principles of biodynamics which is connected to the lunar calendar and they also use organic products.
