Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Taste & Sensory Profile
- Nose: Elegant and fresh. It features prominent aromas of honeydew melon, white peach, and golden apple, with a delicate floral hint of honeysuckle.
- Palate: Crisp, dry, and balanced. Unlike the "sweet" reputation of the brand, this is a brut-style sparkler with refined acidity. You'll taste green apple and citrus with a sophisticated mineral undertone.
- Finish: Clean and long-lasting, with a smooth, "biscuity" richness derived from the oak aging.
Food Pairings
The acidity and bubbles of the Gold V.S. make it an excellent palate cleanser and food partner:
- Savory: Cured Meats and Antipasto. The crisp bubbles cut through the salt and fat of prosciutto, salami, and aged cheeses.
- Seafood: Fresh Sushi or Shrimp Cocktails. The minerality of the wine complements the delicate sweetness of raw fish and shellfish.
- Main Course: Pork Tenderloin or Creamy Pasta. The three months of oak aging give this Prosecco enough body to stand up to white meats and rich sauces.
- The "Celebration" Serve: Best served very cold, between 3°C and 7°C (38°F–45°F). It is the perfect base for a high-end Aperol Spritz or a Negroni Sbagliato.
About the brand
Created by the Riboli Family of the San Antonio Winery (est. 1917). While Stella Rosa is famous for its semi-sweet "frizzante" wines, the Gold V.S. represents their venture into the high-end sparkling market. The bottle is distinctively hand-wrapped in shiny gold foil, making it a "hot item" for weddings, anniversaries, and New Year’s Eve.
