ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
This rosato undergoes at least 12 hours of skin contact, resulting in a more intense color—characteristic of the style—and making it far more than just a summer wine. On the nose, it offers notes of blood orange, citrus, and a distinct freshness. The palate is marked by vibrant acidity and a subtle touch of tannin, adding depth and complexity to the wine.
