Food Matching Note:
This rosé is one of the most structured in our portfolio and goes particularly well with grilled fish, shellfish and meats. It is also a brilliant accompaniment to tomato-based dishes.
Tasting Note:
Beautiful light cherry red in the glass and rose petals on the nose. In the mouth there is a poised balance of acidity, alcohol and body, and the short period in wood adds to mouthfeel, structure and complexity, without overwhelming the succulent red fruit characteristics.
Vinification Note:
The Syrah and Sangiovese grapes which make this rosé are picked by hand in the Mazzei family's Belguardo estate which is near the sea, south of Bolgheri in Tuscany. After a maceration on the skins, the juice is run off and fermented at low temperature (14-16C). There follows a short (three months) period in oak (second year French barriques) before bottling and shipping.
