Langhe d.o.c. Rosé

In the glass, this wine is a transparent pale rose with an orange meniscus, typical of the Nebbiolo grape. Fresh perfumes of violet and raspberry mingle with berry fruit and cherry bon-bon, enveloping the senses. Clean taste of fresh fruit with exotic notes intersects with subtle nuances of citrus.

VARIETY: Nebbiolo 100%

PRODUCTION AREA: Monforte d’ Alba. Helvetian-stage, (exposed seabed formed during the late Miocene, 10-12 million years ago) and medium-textured soil (silt, clay and sand in equal parts), rich in mineral salts and active lime.

CULTIVATION OF THE VINEYARD: Guyot-pruned freestanding espaliers, steep slope (40-50%), southeast exposure.

YIELD: 70 hectoliters.

VINIFICATION: After handpicking in the second half of August, the Nebbiolo is pressed and left to macerate for about six hours. The soft pressing separates the skins from the must, which is then decanted into thermostatted tanks at 11°C for 12 hours. Once decanted the must ferments for about 20 days at 18°C

ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS: In the glass, this wine is a transparent pale rose with an orange meniscus, typical of the Nebbiolo grape. Fresh perfumes of violet and raspberry mingle with berry fruit and cherry bon-bon, enveloping the senses. Clean taste of fresh fruit with exotic notes intersects with subtle nuances of citrus.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: 12.5% alcohol; 5.5 g/l residual sugar; acidity 5.5g/l.

PAIRINGS: Nebbiolo rosé tells the story of a romantic spring in a Scandinavian cottage, of an effervescent summer in a sailboat with friends. It is a perfect accompaniment to fresh cheese, shellfish and fish. Any time is the perfect time to taste a glass of Langhe Rosé.

SERVING TEMPERATURE: 8-10°C

SUMMARY: The grapes for this beautiful rosé from Nebbiolo from the Langhe are harvested very early, already in mid-August. The harvest is also completely manual. After the harvest, the juice undergoes a peeling soak for about 12 hours, before fermentation is started. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, fully temperature controlled. Very fresh and refined in taste, with aromas of small red fruit.
