Northern Italian winemaker Alessandro Gallici is known far and wide for the craftsmanship he puts into each bottle of his sparkling wine. After 20 years of working with us, he produced a special “anniversary” prosecco, packaged in a beautiful beveled bottle, just for our customers. We loved it so much, we challenged him to top it: The refreshing, red-fruited Alessandro Gallici Prosecco Anniversario Rosato is the delightful result.

To make the wine, Alessandro went back to the same vineyard he picked to craft the white version, 47 Anno Domini, down in Roncade, a municipality in Treviso that’s about 16 miles north of Venice.

Named for the famous Roman road (built way back in 47 A.D.) that borders the vineyard, the site is certified organic by a local organization and is farmed only with natural vegetable-derived fertilizers. These gentle methods work in concert with the area’s mineral-rich soil, sunlight and gentle sea breezes to help grapes develop an extra intensity of flavor.

And to ensure the Glera and Pinot Noir that went into this special cuvée retained their vibrancy, Alessandro worked with a local winery to shepherd the grapes through the bubble-producing Charmat method without traveling soon after being harvested.

When all was said and done, the wine was bottled in a jewel-like bottle, just like the original. And we can promise you, it tastes just as good as it looks, too. Expect subtle raspberry and orchard fruit flavors, plus a delicate stream of tiny bubbles—ideal for brunches, picnics and celebrations, et al.

Order soon—stocks of this limited-edition pink sparkler are sure to fizzle out fast.
