Indulge in Astoria Fashion Victim Rosé, a delightful Prosecco-style wine tinted with Pinot Nero grapes. This juicy and fresh summer wine boasts notes of ripe raspberry, strawberry, and red berries, combined with a hint of cream and gentle floral tones.
With a well-balanced and elegantly dry finish, this wine is perfect for any occasion.
Astoria's Fashion Victim Rosé is designed for immediate enjoyment and should be consumed within two years of purchase. The primary fruit character will remain vibrant through 2027, after which the fresh berry aromatics may begin to fade. The sparkling structure will maintain its appeal throughout the drinking window, but extended ageing offers no benefit to this style.

Overall impressionA well-crafted sparkling rosé that delivers immediate appeal and summer refreshment.
Food Pairings
In the Veneto, sparkling rosé pairs naturally with cicchetti, the small plates served in Venetian bacari. Light seafood antipasti, particularly crudo di ricciola or baccalà mantecato on toast, complement the wine's delicate fruit character. The locals also enjoy it with risotto ai frutti di mare during warmer months, where the wine's acidity cuts through the creamy texture while enhancing the seafood flavours.
We think this wine would go well with
Serve well-chilled at 6-8°C in flute or tulip glasses to preserve the mousse and concentrate the aromatics. No decanting required; open just before serving to maintain optimal effervescence. Store bottles horizontally in a cool, dark place until consumption.
The Veneto's temperate continental climate and alluvial soils provide ideal conditions for Pinot varietals. Cool nights preserve acidity while warm days develop fruit character, creating the foundation for fresh, vibrant sparkling wines with good natural balance.

The addition of Pinot Nero grapes gives this sparkling wine its distinctive pink colour and red berry character, while maintaining the fresh, approachable style typical of Northern Italian sparklers.

Despite the juicy fruit character, this is an elegantly dry sparkling wine with no residual sweetness on the finish.
What's the best occasion for serving this?
Perfect as an aperitif or for casual summer entertaining. The accessible style makes it ideal for garden parties, brunches, or any occasion requiring a crowd-pleasing sparkling wine.
Should I age this wine?
No, this wine is crafted for immediate enjoyment. Drink within two years of purchase to experience the fresh fruit character at its peak.
