Rosato

Vineyard and terroir

The Sangiovese comes from Rocca di Frassinello’s vineyards at Gavorrano in the province of Grosseto. The vines grow at 90 m a.s.l. in medium-textured, stony soil, with a planting density of 5,900 plants per hectare. They are trained to spurred cordon and yield 55 q/ha. Harvest takes place from late August into early September.

Grapes

100% Sangiovese.

Vinification

Brief contact between the free-run must and the skins produces a pale peach-petal pink colour. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks, and malolactic fermentation is completed.

Ageing

The wine spends six months in steel before bottling, followed by two months in bottle.
