A Color and an Aroma that Fascinate

This aromatic profile prepares the palate for a unique and memorable tasting experience.

A Production Process With Attention to the Minimum Details

Mainly obtained from Negroamaro grapes, Five Roses comes from vineyards with an average age of around 20 years, cultivated with the spurred cordon method at 5500 vines per hectare. The harvest, carried out in the first ten days of September, guarantees superior quality grapes. Winemaking begins with a skin maceration at 10°C, followed by alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats at 16-20°C. The refinement takes place for a minimum of 2 months in steel and a further month in the bottle, ensuring optimal maturation.

Organoleptic Profile and Gastronomic Pairings

On the palate, Five Roses is fresh, soft and pleasantly persistent. Its well-balanced acidity and delicate body make it extremely versatile in pairings. It pairs perfectly with risottos, boiled meats, fish dishes and white meats. Particularly recommended with Salento frisa, a classic of Apulian cuisine, the Five Roses enhances every dish with its harmony of flavours.
