Wine Description:

The Tuscan red grapes are vinified in rosè by soft pressing to obtain this rosé wine. The nose is characterized by fresh fruity and floral aromas reminiscent of pink grapefruit, strawberry and dog rose. On the palate it is balanced, soft and fragrant. When tasted, it conquers with its fruity character, enlivened by flavor and freshness that invite you to taste it again and make it particularly pleasant to sip.

Very fresh and flowing, it proves to be full-bodied and persistent. The long finish highlights fruity and mineral notes. This rosé is perfect as an aperitif but also goes well with cold cuts and croutons appetizers, lightly seasoned first courses and risottos, soups, white meats and all fish-based dishes.

Area of Production:

Located in central Italy along the Tyrrhenian coast, Tuscany is home to some of the world's most notable wine regions. Toscana IGT is the most famous – and the most commonly used – of Italy's Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT) titles. The geographical region it indicates is, in short, Tuscany.

Toscana IGT wines can be made in any village in any of Tuscany's 10 provinces.

Rosè Vinification:

A rosé wine is not a blend of red and white wine! It is wine made specially, with close attention given at every moment in its development, to the color, aromas and taste. Because of the precision and the attention to detail that it demands, of all the three colors, rosé wine is probably the most complicated to produce.

Only the skins of black grapes contain color pigments; the pulp, which gives the juice, is colorless. As a result, the color of a rosé wine will depend on how long the skins and the juice are in contact, and at what temperature. This is known as the maceration process. The choice of varietals and the terroir also affect the color and personality of a rosé wine.
