Rosie Irpinia DOC Rosato 2023 Colli Di Castelfranci

Rosié Irpinia Rosato DOC 2022 - Colli di Castelfranci

The Rosié Irpinia Rosato DOC 2022 is a refined rosé wine, an expression of the mountain viticulture of the Colli di Castelfranci. Produced with 100% Aglianico grapes, grown in the vineyards of Torella dei Lombardi (AV), this wine represents the perfect synthesis between tradition and innovation, guaranteeing unique freshness and flavour.

Wine Characteristics

Rosié has a pink color with coral reflections, fascinating and brilliant. On the nose, delicate aromas of flowers and small red fruits emerge, the result of the white vinification of Aglianico grapes. On the palate, the sip is pleasantly fresh and savory, with a good persistence which makes it particularly appreciable.

Winemaking Process

The Aglianico grapes, grown on clayey-sandy soils at an altitude of 600 meters above sea level, are harvested by hand in the first ten days of October. After a soft pressing of the bunches, the drained must is separated from the pressed must to obtain the characteristic color of Rosié. Fermentation takes place at low temperatures for a month, followed by a 4-month élevage sur lies with bâtonnage every two weeks. This refinement process, which is completed with a month in the bottle, allows the wine to develop a unique aromatic complexity and a well-defined structure.
