Rohesia Rosé Pas Dosé
The Revolution of Bubbles
With the Rohesia Rosato Metodo Classico Pas Dosè, we explore an unexpected side of Negroamaro: its extraordinary potential for sparkling wines. This sparkling wine, made using the Metodo Classico, requires a long bottle aging of around 60 months—an essential period to develop a unique complexity and a fine, persistent perlage that enhances its refinement.
The name “Rohesia” evokes the rose, a symbol of elegance and delicacy, elements we find in every glass of this exceptional wine. On the nose, intense aromas of small red fruits, delicate yeasty notes, and floral hints invite exploration. On the palate, it is dry, lively, and enveloping, with vibrant freshness and a minerality that adds depth and a long, satisfying finish.
This Metodo Classico is perfect for moments of celebration or to pair with fine dishes such as oysters, seafood crudités, and gourmet recipes. It was born from the desire to push the boundaries of tradition, demonstrating how Negroamaro can also be a protagonist in the world of quality sparkling wines.
Launched 15 years ago, the Rohesia project embodies a passion for innovation and a commitment to enhancing the territory. It is a story of patience, skill, and love for Salento—an example of how creativity can reinterpret tradition with refinement.

Tasting Notes
COLOR: Classic rose with hints of copper that lean toward coral. Rich fizziness with fine, elegant, and lingering bubbles.
NOSE: Delicate notes of eucalyptus and citrus intertwined with herbs and minerality. As the wine warms up in the glass, nuanced notes of flint and Mediterranean garigue began to emerge.
PALATE: On the palate, the wine reveals elegant structure and wonderful balance between its roundness, owed to 60 months of aging, and the freshness imparted by its vibrant acidity.
