Rosé Sette is the ultimate expression of Marco Buvoli's Metodo Classico Rosé. It was created as a complex and aristocratic Rosé de Saignée , beloved by those seeking the sensations of great vintage rosé Champagnes. It is the result of a long process of selection and refinement, using wines from different vintages aged in wood and then blended for the secondary fermentation, which typically takes place between May and June. Marco Buvoli, a great enthusiast of Metodo Classico Rosé, emphasizes how in Italy this style has too often been misunderstood, reducing it to a simple color. Rosé Sette, however, was created to restore rosé to its true role: the highest and most gastronomic expression of Pinot Noir. It is a sparkling wine with great structure and a long finish, best served in a large red wine glass to fully appreciate its nuances. When opened and warmed a few degrees, it reveals all its depth and aristocratic elegance. Produced only in the best vintages, in just a few hundred bottles, it represents an authentic jewel for connoisseurs.

As sommelier André Senoner , Italian Ambassador of Pinot Noir 2021, explains: “ The nose opens delicately with orange blossoms, followed by nectarines and ripe apricots, small berries and notes of Mediterranean scrub, rosemary and thyme. On the palate it is decisive, with accentuated saline sensations that release a cleansing and invigorating sapidity. The palate is soft yet dense, with a smoky finish of burnt straw and chalky minerality that seals its complexity. ”

Veneto, located in northeastern Italy, is renowned for its extraordinary history, breathtaking landscapes and exquisite food and wine traditions. Veneto cuisine and wines are appreciated throughout the world and reflect the cultural and territorial diversity of the region. Veneto is famous for its fascinating historical cities such as Venice, Verona and Padua, which are home to countless works of art and architectural treasures. Venice, the city of canals and palaces, is considered one of the most romantic and fascinating destinations, while Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliet, is famous for its Roman amphitheatre and opera performances. Padua, with its historic University and the Scrovegni Chapel, offers a wide range of cultural attractions.

The Veneto region is known for its excellent wine production, which includes famous wines such as Prosecco, Valpolicella and Soave. Piave is the name of a DOC wine produced in the provinces of Treviso and Venice around the lower course of the Piave. The vineyards of Veneto extend from the hills of Treviso, Vicenza and Verona to the plains of the Po. Venetian cuisine is equally varied and delicious, with fish and seafood dishes along the coast and in the Venetian Lagoon, and more robust meat and vegetable recipes inland. Some of the region's signature dishes include risotto, bigoli (egg pasta), polenta, and baccalà alla vicentina. The Pedemontana Veneta area is undoubtedly the most authentic expression of the typicality and richness of the region's food and wine heritage.

153 typical areas within a 5 km radius of the new Pedemontana Veneta highway. Among these, 9 DOP products, 5 IGP, 4 DOCG wines, 8 DOC, 4 IGT, 119 traditional agri-food products and 4 Slow Food presidia stand out. The Pedemontana Veneta offers a wide range of high-quality wines, cheeses, vegetables, cured meats and delicacies, including, to name a few, Asiago DOP, Morlacco and Imbriago cheeses, Grappa and fruit distillates, Sopressa DOP, stone-ground flours from ancient cereals (Mulino Terrevive), Extra Virgin Olive Oil DOP which, with the denomination "Conca degli Ulivi" produced (Oro de Poè) in small but very precious quantities, boasts prizes and awards in prestigious international competitions. Prosecco DOCG of Valdobbiadene and Asolo. In addition to the aforementioned Prosecco, appreciated and exported throughout the world, in recent years, native vines that had been forgotten have been re-evaluated, among which the Recantina and the Rabbiosa dei colli Asolani (Pat del Colmel) stand out. Once called “Rabbioso” or “vino del Piave”, Raboso is a native red grape variety from Veneto with a thousand-year history (Italo Cescon). It is a great Italian red wine with a clear identity well-rooted in the territory of the Piave, which today wants to regain a prestigious position among the great Italian wines. Let yourself be won over by the quality and tradition of the artisan producers we have selected for you, producers who best express the authenticity and richness of this wonderful region.

L'Opificio del Pinot Nero was born from the visionary dream of Marco Buvoli, a wine craftsman who chose to dedicate himself passionately to one of the most fascinating and complex grape varieties: Pinot Noir. In the late 1990s, Marco transformed his passion into a concrete project, creating a small winery in Gambugliano, in the Vicenza hills, where wine meets another great passion: rock music. L'Opificio is, in fact, "the rock cellar," a place where rhythm, vibrations, and emotions flow through the barrels, accompanying the journey of each wine. The vineyards extend between the hills of Vicenza and Padua, in a mosaic of soils and microclimates that enhance the personality of Pinot Noir. Cultivation is organic and biodynamic, with severe pruning, low yields, and manual harvesting to obtain healthy, ripe grapes.

In the winery, the philosophy is the same: absolute respect for the raw material, positive vibrations, and a natural rhythm. They work with whole grapes, maceration and fermentation in steel or wood, and aging in barriques and tonneaux selected for each vintage. Every movement occurs by gravity, delicately, to never stress the wine. The heart of the Opificio is the Classic Method: sparkling wines of rare elegance and mineral tension, created from cuvées of different vintages and a small portion of reserve wines aged in wood according to the Solera method. Long aging on the lees—sometimes over 36 months—gives creamy, deep, and vibrant wines capable of captivating the palate. Alongside sparkling wines, Marco Buvoli also produces Pinot Noir reds that reflect the purest soul of the grape, and his Garage Wines: micro-productions supervised step by step, born from a desire to experiment.

These include the Chardonnay vinified in the Burgundian style, the powerful and structured TPS (a blend of Syrah and Merlot), and the elegant and refined Cabernet Franc, inspired by the Loire. Annual production, around 28,000 bottles, is deliberately limited to ensure artisanal control over every stage of the process. L'Opificio del Pinot Noir is not just a winery, but a laboratory of ideas and emotions, where wine and music merge to give life to authentic creations. Every glass is a journey: from the vineyard to the glass, it tells a story of passion, courage, and research, which has made L'Opificio a reference point for those seeking Italian wines capable of dialoguing with the great international classics, without ever losing their connection to their homeland.
