Production & Heritage

Fratelli Gancia was founded in 1850 in Canelli, in Italy's Piedmont region, where Carlo Gancia famously created the country's first sparkling wine using techniques he studied in Champagne. This Prosecco Rosé is produced in the Veneto using the Charmat (Martinotti) method, in which secondary fermentation occurs in pressurized stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh, fruit-forward character of the grapes. The cuvée blends the traditional Prosecco grape Glera with Pinot Noir, which contributes the wine's signature salmon-pink hue and red fruit complexity.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh red berries lead the nose, followed by an intense candied cherry note. Hints of peach blossom and strawberry leaf add a delicate floral layer beneath the fruit.

Taste: Lively, fine bubbles carry vibrant flavors of macerated raspberry and pomegranate across the palate. Mid-palate, tangerine and white raspberry notes emerge, supported by a full, rounded mouthfeel. A touch of crisp green apple provides balance against the red fruit sweetness.

Finish: The finish is persistent and zippy with an ever-so-slight sweetness, lingering on floral and dried fruit impressions. Subtle notes of peach and pear trail off cleanly.

How to Drink Gancia Prosecco Rosé

The 187ml format is designed for immediate, well-chilled enjoyment — serve at 40–45°F straight from the bottle or poured into a flute. This rosé sparkling also works as a base in several cocktails:

• Rossini: Muddled fresh strawberries topped with Gancia Rosé — the wine's red berry profile amplifies the fruit.
• Aperol Spritz Rosé: A pink twist on the classic; the pomegranate and raspberry notes complement Aperol's bitter orange.
• Rose Bellini: Swap traditional Prosecco for this rosé with white peach purée — the peach blossom aromatics create a seamless pairing.

• Bridal showers and bachelorette party favors in an eye-catching mini format
• A personal pour when opening a full bottle feels excessive
