Brut Cuvèe 36 Rosè Casa Caterina

Brut Nature Cuvée 36 Rosé: the vibrant and elegant side of long lees aging

The Brut Nature Cuvée 36 Rosé from Casa Caterina is a Metodo Classico with striking personality and refinement, blending the depth of extended lees aging with the luminous energy of Pinot Noir. Sourced from biodynamically farmed vineyards nestled in the hills of Monticelli Brusati, this rosé is the result of precise pink vinification and at least 36 months of aging on the lees. The outcome is a sparkling wine of remarkable balance, authentically expressing its terroir with unmistakable style.

In the vineyard: respect for nature and meticulous care

At Casa Caterina, vineyard work is manual and deeply attentive, guided by the rhythms of nature. The Pinot Noir vines grow on calcareous-clay soils and are managed according to certified biodynamic principles, with zero synthetic chemicals. Yields are intentionally kept low to concentrate the fruit’s aromas and freshness. Harvesting is done exclusively by hand, selecting only the finest bunches for an exceptional base wine.

In the cellar: gentle vinification and patient maturation

The must is gently pressed and undergoes spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks, without the use of selected yeasts. The second fermentation occurs in the bottle, in accordance with the Traditional Method, followed by at least 36 months of lees aging. No dosage is added at disgorgement, preserving the wine’s purest and most vertical identity.

Tasting profile: a precision rosé

In the glass, Brut Nature Cuvée 36 Rosé shines with a delicate, bright pink hue and an ultra-fine, persistent bead. The nose reveals notes of wild strawberries, orange peel, pomegranate, wildflowers, and subtle yeasty and spicy hints. On the palate, it is taut, dry, and elegant, with vibrant freshness, a harmonious structure, and a saline, mineral finish that prolongs the pleasure of each sip.

Pairings and serving

An ideal pairing for sushi, tuna or salmon tartare, shellfish, carpaccio, and fusion cuisine. It also pairs beautifully with delicate cured meats and fresh or goat cheeses. Best served at 8–10 °C.
