The Brutto Bianco has gained a sister named Rosa.
As we already made some assumptions regarding the name in the explanation of Brutto Bianco, we refer you to that entry for further details.
The Brutto Rosè is likewise a bottle-fermented Frizzante, a so-called Rifermentato, which is not disgorged at the end of maturation. For the grape varieties, Aldo uses his established red trio: first, Syrah, which has found a second home in the hilly and mountainous region south of Palermo. Secondly, there is Nerello Mascalese, the great red grape variety of Mount Etna, which has also been cultivated in Aldo’s area for countless generations. And finally, there is Perricone, a grape variety condemned to oblivion by phylloxera, but one that is slowly but surely finding its way back into the island's vineyards thanks to its outstanding qualities.
Together, the three create a lively and invigorating sparkling wine characterized by a crumbly texture, delicate red fruit, and a fine, slightly exotic spiciness.
