Ca Vittoria Brut Rose

Ca Vittoria Brut Rosé is a 750ml Italian sparkling rosé from Veneto at 11.5% ABV, blending Glera with the rare native Raboso grape. Awarded 92 points by Wine Spectrum International, this Charmat-method sparkler stands apart from most Prosecco-style rosés by using Raboso rather than the more common Pinot Noir for its red-grape component, yielding a distinctive structure and aromatic profile.

Quick Facts: ABV: 11.5%  |  Origin: Conegliano, Veneto, Italy  |  Brut Rosé Sparkling  |  Producer: Azienda Agricola Ca'Vittoria

Production & Heritage

Azienda Agricola Ca'Vittoria farms in Conegliano, the northern Veneto zone at the heart of the historic Conegliano Valdobbiadene production area. The cuvée is composed of 95% Glera—the signature white grape of Prosecco—and 5% Raboso, a deeply colored, tannic red variety indigenous to the Veneto plains that has been cultivated in the region for centuries. Secondary fermentation takes place in pressurized tanks via the Charmat method, followed by three months of tank aging on the lees before disgorgement, preserving bright fruit aromatics while developing a fine, persistent mousse.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: The nose opens with delicate strawberry and raspberry before moving into earthy undertones and peppery spice. A subtle thread of rose petal ties the bouquet together.

Taste: On entry, the wine is bone dry yet surprisingly full in the mouth, with lively acidity driving a broad sweep of red fruit. Mid-palate, strawberry and blood orange merge with a mineral zest that keeps the texture focused and refreshing. The overall impression is of generous fruit balanced by crisp structure.

Finish: Medium in length, the finish carries persistent citrus and mineral notes that linger well beyond the last sip. A faint savory edge from the Raboso component adds depth and invites another glass.

How to Drink Ca Vittoria Brut Rosé

Serve well chilled—around 6–8°C (43–46°F)—in a tulip-shaped glass to concentrate the delicate aromatics while allowing the fine bubbles room to develop. This rosé also shines in sparkling cocktails:

• Aperol Spritz Rosé: The wine's dry structure and blood-orange notes pair naturally with Aperol's bittersweet citrus, creating a lighter, more elegant riff on the classic.
• French 75 variation: Substitute this rosé for traditional Champagne; its strawberry and mineral character adds a Venetian twist to the gin-and-lemon template.
• Rossini: Blended with fresh strawberry purée, the wine's existing red-fruit profile amplifies into a seamless, celebratory serve.

Best For

• Aperitivo hour with charcuterie and grissini
• Warm-weather brunch alongside fruit-forward dishes
• A host gift for Italian wine enthusiasts exploring native varietals
• Wedding toasts and celebrations calling for a distinctive pink sparkler

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Ca Vittoria Brut Rosé taste like? It is bone dry and full-bodied for a sparkling rosé, dominated by strawberry, blood orange, and mineral zest with lively acidity and a citrus-driven finish.

How does Ca Vittoria Brut Rosé compare to Prosecco Rosé made with Pinot Noir? Most Prosecco Rosé D.O.C. blends Glera with Pinot Noir for color, producing softer red-fruit notes; Ca Vittoria uses the native Raboso grape instead, which contributes a deeper pink hue, more tannic structure, and earthy spice not typically found in Pinot Noir-based versions.

Is Ca Vittoria Brut Rosé good for sipping on its own? Yes—its combination of dry, full-bodied fruit and bright acidity makes it a rewarding standalone aperitivo, especially when served thoroughly chilled.

Where is Ca Vittoria Brut Rosé made? It is produced by Azienda Agricola Ca'Vittoria in Conegliano, a town in northern Veneto, Italy, situated within the renowned Conegliano Valdobbiadene sparkling-wine zone.

What foods pair well with Ca Vittoria Brut Rosé? Fresh burrata with ripe tomatoes plays off the wine's acidity; smoked salmon complements its mineral edge; prosciutto e melone echoes the strawberry and melon undertones; seared tuna benefits from the wine's dry structure; and strawberry tarts create a harmonious dessert pairing.

What sizes does Ca Vittoria Brut Rosé come in? The standard release is a 750ml bottle.

Is Ca Vittoria Brut Rosé worth the price? It positions as an affordable-premium sparkling rosé; the use of the uncommon Raboso grape, three months of tank aging, and a 92-point WSI score deliver notable complexity and character relative to its price tier.

Why Ca Vittoria Brut Rosé?

The defining feature here is Raboso. While nearly every pink sparkling wine from Veneto reaches for Pinot Noir, Ca'Vittoria turns to this thick-skinned, centuries-old local variety to supply color, tannin, and a peppery spice note that Pinot Noir simply does not offer in the same way. The result is a sparkling rosé with real structure—bone dry yet generously fruited—that earned 92 points from Wine Spectrum International. For drinkers who have explored mainstream Prosecco Rosé and want something with deeper regional roots and more textural weight, this bottling delivers a genuine point of difference from Conegliano.
