The grapes for this wine are harvested a little earlier than usual. After a short period in the press, they are pressed, resulting in a vibrant color. Further vinification takes place in steel. Fresh and fruity aromas, with the characteristic aromas of Marasca cherries from Sangiovese, burst from your glass. Juicy and flavorful. An excellent Rosato.
