Pugnitello Rosé: A Tapestry of Ancient Grapes and New Expression
Embark on a two-year exploration, crafting nine distinct rosés from various Tuscan red grapes. The Pugnitello grape emerges triumphant for its fruity notes, soft tannins, and vibrant acidity. Tuscan rosés, served refreshingly chilled, become the perfect companion to sunlit lunches, harmonizing with raw milk cheeses and artisanal charcuterie.
Grape Production: Meticulous handcrafted practices, including green pruning, grape thinning, and handpicking, showcase a commitment to quality. Organic vineyard management, in collaboration with Dr. Ruggero Mazzilli and the Experimental Station for Sustainable Grape Growing, ensures sustainable practices for optimal grape development.
Vinification: The journey begins with handpicked grapes, undergoing a gentle 12-hour maceration in stainless steel vats to achieve the desired hue. Precipitation at a controlled temperature of -4°C precedes fermentation, preserving the wine’s fruity freshness. Post-fermentation, the wine rests at low temperatures until spring, when it is bottled for your enjoyment.
Characteristics: An intense pink with violet shades invites you into a world of freshness. The fragrant and lively nose sets the stage for a pleasurable glass, capturing the essence of Tuscan terroir.
