Society De La Rassi Beso Besa is a dealcoholized sparkling rosé from the Côtes de Provence in France, made to capture the complexity and dry mouthfeel of fine sparkling wine without the alcohol. It contains about 0.5% ABV.
It is crafted from a blend of seven native Provence varieties: Cinsault, Grenache, Carignan, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Tibouren and Ugni Blanc. The wine is made first, then the alcohol is gently removed.
Bright and pale salmon in colour, it offers subtle watermelon and citrus aromas and a crisp, refreshing finish.
Part of Society De La Rassi's luxury line of dealcoholized wines, it is a stylish choice for celebrations when someone is not drinking.
Traditional-method sparkling wine is made the same way as Champagne: a still base wine is bottled with a little yeast and sugar, and the second fermentation in the bottle creates fine, persistent bubbles. Time resting on the spent yeast, the lees, adds the toasty, brioche-like notes that set these wines apart from tank-fermented styles.
