Bisol Jeio prosecco 750ml Sparkling Rose 2021 750ml
DescriptionThe 2021 vintage of Bisol's Jeio Rosé Prosecco demonstrates the beautiful evolution possible when quality Prosecco Rosé is given time to develop complexity. This pioneering expression, among the first premium Prosecco Rosés when the category was officially recognized, shows how the addition of Pinot Nero can create a sparkling wine of real sophistication and depth.
With additional bottle age, the 2021 has developed fascinating secondary characteristics while maintaining its essential freshness. The wine opens with a mature bouquet where initial red berry notes have evolved to include hints of dried strawberry, cherry compote, and rose hip, enhanced by subtle notes of brioche, almond, and a touch of honey. The Pinot Nero's influence is more pronounced with age, contributing earthy undertones and additional complexity that elevate this beyond simple sparkling rosé.
On the palate, the 2021 shows beautiful integration and harmony. The mousse remains fine and persistent, creating a silky texture that has gained creaminess with time. Flavors of red currant, pomegranate, and blood orange are complemented by notes of pastry cream and toasted nuts from extended lees contact. The wine's structure shows the benefits of bottle age - what was once primary fruit has evolved into a more complex interplay of fruit, autolytic, and mineral notes. The finish is long and sophisticated, with lingering notes of red fruit and spice.
What makes this aged Rosé exceptional is witnessing how Prosecco Rosé can evolve beyond its reputation as a simple, drink-young style. Bisol's quality focus and the excellent 2021 vintage have created a wine with genuine aging potential. The combination of Glera's freshness and Pinot Nero's structure has resulted in a rosé that gains complexity while maintaining vibrancy - a rare achievement in the world of Prosecco.
This evolved rosé shows increased gastronomic potential. Its developed character makes it ideal for richer preparations - salmon with beurre blanc, roasted chicken with herbs, or even duck breast with berry sauce. The wine's complexity also makes it excellent with aged cheeses or charcuterie boards. For an elevated pairing, serve with tuna tartare with avocado or vitello tonnato, where the wine's evolved character complements the dishes' richness. This is Prosecco Rosé for those who appreciate the added dimensions that come with thoughtful aging.
