✨ Technical Specifications
In the rolling hills of Piedmont, Banfi's historic Strevi estate crafts the Rosa Regale Rosé, a vibrant sparkling wine that builds upon a legacy of romance. Legend holds that ancestral precursors to these Piedmontese sparkling wines were prized by Cleopatra's lovers, Julius Caesar and Marc Antony, who presented them to the Egyptian queen as symbols of passion. This modern rosé expression elegantly blends classic varietals such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with a touch of aromatic Brachetto. Produced using the Charmat method to capture the peak of youthful fruitiness, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in pressurized stainless steel tanks. This preserves the delicate aromas of wild strawberries, raspberries, and white flowers, reflecting the clay and limestone-rich soils of the Monferrato hills.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1978 by Italian-American brothers John and Harry Mariani, Banfi is centered around the historic medieval fortress Castello di Poggio alle Mura in Montalcino, Tuscany. The estate played a pivotal role in the modern renaissance of Brunello di Montalcino through pioneering clonal research on Sangiovese, state-of-the-art vinification techniques, and dedicated environmental sustainability. Operating across prime vineyard sites in Tuscany and Piedmont, the winery harmonizes classic Italian heritage with modern precision. Banfi is internationally celebrated for its benchmark Brunello di Montalcino bottlings, expressive Super Tuscan blends such as Cum Laude and Belnero, and an expansive portfolio of elegant single-varietal and sparkling wines.
