Ros\u00e9s really have a versatile and international character, so much so that the French, Italians and Americans have fallen in love with them! <\/p>\n<p>At Perlage, we couldn&#8217;t help but dedicate a space to ros\u00e9 wines!!! In our range there are as many as three 100% organic ones: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perlagewines.com\/en\/product\/afra\/\">Afra Prosecco DOC Ros\u00e9<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perlagewines.com\/en\/product\/perlapp-rose\/\">Perlapp Ros\u00e9<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perlagewines.com\/en\/product\/rose\/\">Rosato Veneto IGT<\/a>. <\/p>\n<h3>\nBut how is ros\u00e9 wine produced?<\/h3>\n<p>Ros\u00e9 wine is made using red grapes, the skins of which, when left in contact with the must for a few hours, release color pigments that will then give rise to the different shades of pink. It is the duration of this contact that will determine the hue. <\/p>\n<p>To this method, called <strong>maceration<\/strong>, are added others: the <strong>gray wine<\/strong> or <strong>blush<\/strong> <strong>wine<\/strong> method in which the skins and must are separated immediately after pressing; the <strong>&#8220;salasso<\/strong> &#8221; in which the grapes are left to ferment for 24 hours, after which part of the must is separated and then started for the production of ros\u00e9 wine. <strong>Blending<\/strong> is used for the production of ros\u00e9 sparkling wines; a small percentage of red wine base is added to the tank containing white wine and fermentation takes place. <\/p>\n<h3>\nHow are the different shades of ros\u00e9 wine defined and what foods can they be paired with?<\/h3>\n<p>There are many shades that can characterize a ros\u00e9 wine, from the most delicate, tending toward gray, to the most loaded, which we could almost call red.<br \/>\nSoft pink: very delicate shade that is sometimes referred to as <em>&#8220;onion skin.&#8221;<\/em> The <em>cherry pink<\/em> more intense gradation reminiscent of cherry color. Finally, claret pink, an intense shade very close to red.  <\/p>\n<p>For pairings, the watchword is versatility. Ros\u00e9 wines are extremely versatile, which is also why they are very popular with chefs and wine lovers. To facilitate ros\u00e9 wine-food pairings Perlage recommends pairing lighter and less structured ros\u00e9 wines with dishes such as: seafood appetizers, shellfish, vegetable risottos and fresh cheeses. While with the more full-bodied and structured ros\u00e9 wines we can dare with more seasoned dishes, where there is also some tomato sauce or white meats, roasts, sliced meats and medium-aged cheeses.   <\/p>\n<h3>\n<p>Ros\u00e9 wines, wines with an international character<\/h3>\n<p>Apparently, <em>Italy<\/em> and <em>France<\/em> are contending for the birth of the first ros\u00e9 wine. According to one legend, ros\u00e9 wine was born in a small village on Lake Garda at the hands of a somewhat profligate priest. Historically, the arrival of ros\u00e9 wine on our tables is traced back to World War II, when a winery in Salento began producing a ros\u00e9 wine intended for Americans. For some historians, however, this type of wine originated in France in the late 1800s. While, in the early 1970s, a wine known as <em>White Zinfandel-defined<\/em>as <em>&#8220;wine born by mistake&#8221;<\/em>-was born in the <em>United States<\/em>, obtained from the white vinification of the red Zinfandel grape variety.<br \/>\nWhat is certain is that even today areas such as <em>Provence<\/em>, <em>Languedoc<\/em> and <em>Italy<\/em> are the areas where the largest amount of ros\u00e9 wines are produced and consumed.<br \/>\nNext come the <em>United States<\/em>, <em>Spain<\/em>, <em>Germany<\/em> and the <em>United<\/em> <em>Kingdom<\/em>.    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Treviso a big step toward change!
