Sacchetto Prosecco Millesimato Rosé Brut 2025
£10.75
The wine
A crystalline pink sparkling rosé with appealing notes of violet and wild red berried fruit, supported by light, soft bubbles. Refreshing, with lovely balance and a dry, fruity finish.
Prosecco Rose was only permitted from the 2020 vintage, after decades in which pink Prosecco could not legally exist. The rules require between 10 and 15 per cent Pinot Nero vinified as a red, blended with Glera, and the wine must be millesimato, from a single vintage. A short second fermentation in tank gives the fine bead.

View all Sacchetto winesFounded in 1920 and still in family hands, Cantina Sacchetto sits in the heart of the Veneto. Filiberto Sacchetto runs it today alongside his son Paolo and daughter Beatrice, overseeing every stage themselves with a mix of tradition and a willingness to try things.
The Veneto is Prosecco country, and Sacchetto work across the appellation's tiers: the broad Prosecco DOC that covers most of the region, and the smaller Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG in the hills north of Treviso, where the vineyards are steeper and hand-worked. Almost all of it is made by the Charmat method, the second fermentation taking place in pressurised tank rather than in bottle, which is what keeps Glera's delicate pear and white-flower aromatics intact.
In 2022 the estate earned Equalitas certification, the Italian standard that audits the social, environmental and economic sides of sustainability through biodiversity, carbon and water footprint and growing practice. Investment in modern vinification has given them a range of still and sparkling wines that shows what the Veneto does best at a price that rarely disappoints.
