Magnum Alie rosè Ammiraglia...
Alìe, a figure from Greek mythology, one of the sea nymphs, symbol of sensuality and beauty. Alìe, an elegant Rosé with a clear, pure colour and soft ruby reflections. A<br />refined balance between Syrah and Vermentino, which find their maximum expression in their proximity to the sea. Aromas of white flowers, wild strawberries and citrus peel<br />blend in a delicate structure with hints of minerality typical of the terroir, giving a long, rich finish. Enchanting from aperitifs to meals and in good company.<br /><br />Climatic trend<br />Winter 2021/2022 was characterised by good rainfall, as was spring 2022. This situation resulted in a proper water supply of the subsoil. Sprouting took place a few days<br />later than normal, but rising temperatures led to regular vegetative development. Summer days with above-average temperatures led to splendid ripening of the Syrah and<br />Vermentino grapes. As a result, the aromatic development was magnificent. The sun and the refreshing sea breezes were the perfect companions during the harvest period;<br />both allowed the vines to achieve a compositional balance that is an expression of this microclimate. The most genuinely Mediterranean expression of Tuscany.<br /><br />Technical notes<br />Varieties: Syrah, Vermentino<br />Alcoholic degree: 12%.<br />Maturation: 3 months in steel tanks<br /><br />Vinification and maturation<br />The secret of Alìe lies in the combination of territorial characteristics, vineyard management and, of course, the human factor. The grapes, once harvested, were transported<br />to the cellar in a short time in order not to spoil or damage the bunches. One of the highlights of the Alìe production was the pressing phase. The bunches, whole and in the<br />absence of oxygen, were loaded into the press. The pressures applied during this phase were extremely soft and gentle; this process, together with the careful selection of<br />the musts and their subsequent decanting for no less than 12 hours, allowed the distinctive characteristics of this seductive rosé to be enhanced. Fermentation took place in<br />stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of less than 19° C. After maturing for a few months on fine lees, subsequently including a period of bottle ageing, Alìe 2022<br />was as persuasive and fascinating as its custom.<br /><br /><br />Tasting notes<br />Alìe 2022 has a splendid soft pink colour. On the nose, its fruitiness is particularly varied: citrus notes of cedar and bergamot, ripe peach and white fruits. This is followed by<br />the floral soul of Alìe dominated by iris, orange blossom and peony. The long bouquet continues with clear hints of iodine and aromatic herbs such as thyme, rosemary and<br />sage. The taste-olfactory response is remarkable and precise, characterised by freshness and savouriness. Alìe is a rich, silky, smooth and satisfying wine.<br />
