Region of Italy: Giglio island, Toscana

Producer: Altura 

Vintage: 2019

Vitigno: Sangiovese 

From vines about 20 years old rooted on sandy soils a 4-hectare parcel near the sea.
From slightly dried grapes that macerate for 48 hours on the skins and fermentation with indigenous yeasts in 5-10 hl steel containers at cellar temperature, a few months in steel barrels. "Rossetto" is a rosé wine from Sangiovese with a color more similar to a red wine think a Pinot, and with the typical marine white wine tones, capable of faithfully telling the freshness, radiance, and richness of that part of toscana. Notes of Mediterranean scrub, essences of small and juicy red fruits and salty winds dance on a straightforward structure with a very drinkable sip, toned by a Mediterranean freshness and by returns that remind the sea.

Service tips: Serve it at 12 C with Caciucco (or any traditional fish soups and don’t forget the garlic on the grilled bread).
