A 90/10 blend of Nerello Mascalese, a red variety, and white Carricante. The hand picked grapes are the first on the estate to be harvested, capturing the varieties' naturally high acidities. The Nerello is slowly pressed to draw out only the faintest pink color, while the Carricante is directly pressed. Both are fermented in stainless steel then aged in local, used chestnut barrels for a full year before release, a rarity in this category.
Mouthwatering aromas of pink grapefruit, blood orange, jasmine flowers and a touch of flinty minerals waft from the glass. The medium-bodied palate is packed with pink raspberries and more ruby red citrus. This is a rosé of substance and elegance, yet drinks with ease and refreshment. A wonderful aperitivo, but really shines alongside tuna crudo, caprese salad or even eggplant caponata.
