Astoria's Villa Miazzi Millesimato Rosé Prosecco represents the elegant expression of sparkling rosé from Valdobbiadene. Made from Glera with a small addition of Pinot Nero for colour and structure, this wine undergoes the traditional Charmat method fermentation that preserves the fresh, fruity character of the grapes.
The wine displays a beautiful salmon pink colour with fine, persistent bubbles. On the palate, it offers delicate red berry flavours balanced by crisp acidity and a clean, refreshing finish. Best enjoyed young to appreciate its fresh fruit character and lively effervescence, this is an ideal aperitif wine that drinks beautifully until 2028.
This Prosecco rosé is designed for immediate enjoyment and shows its best character within two years of release. The fresh fruit flavours and vibrant acidity are at their peak now, providing maximum pleasure and food-pairing versatility. Extended cellaring beyond 2028 will see the primary fruit character fade whilst the bubbles lose their vigour. The wine's charm lies in its youthful exuberance rather than developed complexity, making early consumption essential for optimal enjoyment.

Overall impressionAn elegant, well-balanced Prosecco rosé that combines freshness with delicate complexity.
Food Pairings
In Veneto, this style of sparkling rosé pairs beautifully with the region's cicchetti culture, accompanying small plates of baccalà mantecato, sarde in saor, and delicate seafood risottos. Locals enjoy it with fresh Adriatic prawns, San Daniele prosciutto, and the creamy cow's milk cheeses from the Dolomite foothills. The wine's delicate berry character complements the subtle sweetness of Venetian dishes like fegato alla veneziana, whilst its crisp acidity cuts through the richness of traditional polenta dishes served throughout the region.
We think this wine would go well with
Serve well-chilled at 6-8°C in flute or tulip-shaped glasses to preserve the fine bubbles and concentrate the delicate aromas. No decanting required; open just before serving to maintain maximum effervescence. Avoid over-chilling as this will mute the subtle fruit flavours. The wine is best consumed immediately after opening whilst the bubbles remain lively.
The vineyards sit on the steep hillsides of Valdobbiadene, where the soils combine clay, limestone and sandstone with good drainage. The continental climate with warm days and cool nights preserves acidity while allowing full flavour development in the grapes. The altitude and exposure create ideal conditions for Glera cultivation, whilst the small percentage of Pinot Nero benefits from the cooler microclimates that maintain the grape's delicate structure and colour compounds.
Prosecco di Valdobbiadene DOCG represents the pinnacle of Prosecco production, covering the historic heartland of this sparkling wine style. The regulations mandate specific grape varieties, production methods and quality standards that exceed those of basic Prosecco DOC. The steep hillside vineyards and unique microclimate of this UNESCO World Heritage site produce Prosecco with greater complexity and finesse than wines from the broader Prosecco zone. The DOCG status, granted in 2009, recognises the superior quality potential of this specific terroir.
FAQs
What makes this different from regular Prosecco?
The addition of Pinot Nero grapes gives this wine its distinctive salmon pink colour and adds subtle red berry flavours that complement the traditional Glera base. The rosé style also typically shows slightly more structure and complexity than standard white Prosecco.
How should I store an opened bottle?
Use a proper sparkling wine stopper and refrigerate immediately. The wine will maintain its bubbles for 2-3 days if properly sealed, though it's best consumed within 24 hours for optimal effervescence and flavour.
What does 'Millesimato' mean?
Millesimato indicates this is a vintage Prosecco, made entirely from grapes harvested in a single year rather than blended across multiple vintages. This typically results in wines with more distinct character reflecting the specific growing season.
Is this wine suitable for special occasions?
Absolutely. The elegant presentation, fine bubbles and sophisticated flavour profile make it ideal for celebrations, whilst remaining approachable enough for casual entertaining and aperitif service.
What food pairings work best?
This wine excels with light appetisers, seafood, delicate pasta dishes and soft cheeses. It's particularly good with sushi, smoked salmon, or fresh fruit desserts. The delicate berry character also complements Asian cuisine beautifully.
How long will this wine keep?
Best consumed within 2-3 years of purchase whilst the fresh fruit character and lively bubbles remain at their peak. Unlike Champagne, Prosecco doesn't benefit from extended ageing and should be enjoyed for its youthful vibrancy.
