Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
Rosato comes from early-harvested Syrah grown in two parcels of the Pozzo Vecchio vineyard in the Manzano hills of Cortona. Together the parcels cover 3 hectares at 290–300 metres above sea level. They were planted in 1999 and 2001 on clay-and-sand soils, at a density of 7,500 vines per hectare, and are cordon-spur trained. The wine is certified organic by QCertificazioni.
Grapes

Vinification
Harvest takes place at the end of August. The grapes remain in contact with their skins for eight hours before gentle pressing, a method intended to retain freshness and primary aromas. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel.
Ageing
The wine matures for six months in stainless steel.
