'Fresco di Nero' Tempranillo Toscana Rose

Product description

The "Tempranillo Rosé 2020" is a lively rosé wine, entirely made from 100% Tempranillo grapes, from a small 0.5-hectare vineyard in San Miniato, Tuscany. The vines, aged 10 to 18 years, grow on sandstone soils with Pliocene marine fossils, white clay, and high mineral complexity, at 100-150 meters above sea level. With 7000 vines per hectare and a yield of 1.5 kg per vine, it was harvested in the third week of August, giving it a fresh, fruity touch, bottled in 4000 75 cl bottles with 12.5% alcohol.

The winemaking is careful and modern: after a three-day cryomaceration with skins in the press, it ferments in temperature-controlled, glass-lined cement vats. It matures for four months on the lees in the same vats and ages an extra month in glass, resulting in its intense, brilliant rosé color and transparency. The aroma is fresh with red flowers and citrus notes, plus subtle hints of graphite and chalk, creating a complex, refined nose.

In the mouth, this rosé is light, thirst-quenching, and fruity, yet surprisingly complex and satisfying. Serve at 8 °C as an aperitif or 12-16 °C with lunch or dinner, pairing perfectly with fresh charcuterie, ham, salami, young cheeses, small appetizers, tacos, boiled meat with vegetables, grilled fish, or truffle dishes – a nod to San Miniato’s famous white truffles. The "Tempranillo Rosé 2020" is a versatile, elegant pick for fans of fresh, natural rosé wines with a Tuscan flair.
