DESCRIPTION:

Focus on the indigenous varieties also through the research of ancient biotypes, experimentation in the vineyard with the selection of clones and meticoulos matching of the soils, represent the peculiarities of our work as vinegrowers. The ”Inzolia Rosa” (pink inzolia) is a good examplesof this approach. An ancient biotype of Calabrese grown on these hills since ever, becomes the hearth or our rosé wines. The calcareous clay of the Munti areal, on the top of the hill facing North-West, permits an ideal ripening of these grapes, preserving its perfumes, minerality, acidic backbone, particularly suited for the production of rosé wines.

SENSORY PROFILE

Very beautiful brilliant pink with purple hints and coriandoli. Intense to the nose, elegant and refined. On the foreground aromatic vegetal scents, red fruit unripen, raspberry, blackberry, goose berry. Fresh to the palate, sapid with evident acidity. Over all interesting and original.
