Rosato NegroamaroIGP Salento

Fresh, balanced and elegantly fruity. On the nose delicate and lingering with floral notes, in the glass pink like peach flesh — on the palate the fruit stays elegant instead of turning sweet: a rosé that lives on its freshness.

Yes — its fruit stays elegant and fresh rather than coming across as sweet. Only four hours on the skins and three months of rest in the steel tank preserve exactly this clarity, at a light 12 % vol.

It is practically made for it: well chilled at 12 to 14 °C it is the classic before dinner. It accompanies antipasti, simple primi and main courses of oily fish or white meat just as beautifully.

In substance none: rosato is the Italian word for rosé. What matters is the method — our rosato is made from the dark Negroamaro grape, whose must stays on the skins for only four hours. The colour sits in the berry skin, not in the juice: a short maceration gives the delicate pink instead of a red wine.

IGP stands for “Indicazione Geografica Protetta”, the protected geographical indication. The grapes come from Salento, the southernmost part of Puglia.
