Rosato di Ampeleia

Ampeleia

The Rosato di Ampeleia comes from clay/sandy/limestone soils characterized by a dark-red colour and round pebbles. Whole clusters of Alicante Nero are left to infuse in the must of Carignano; thanks to the fermentative energy in the tank, the clusters are pushed to the surface and while floating and gently swinging, they delicately release their flavour. Salty, slightly tannic, more savoury than your typical direct press rosé and certainly capable of standing up to more substantial plates of food.
