Alie rosè Ammiraglia 2023...
Alìe 2023<br />Toscana IGT<br /><br />Alìe, a figure from Greek mythology, one of the sea nymphs, symbol of sensuality and beauty. Alìe, an elegant rosé with a light, pure colour and subtle ruby hues. A fine<br />balance between Syrah and Vermentino, which find their ultimate expression in close proximity to the sea. Aromas of white flowers, wild strawberries and citrus fruit rind<br />blend into a delicate structure with mineral hints typical of the area, giving a long and rich finish. Charming as an aperitif or with meals and good company.<br /><br />Climatic trend<br />The 2023 vintage was characterised by a mild winter with plenty of rain, concentrated mainly in December and January. The rains in March and April allowed the plants to<br />develop a vigorous, strong leaf wall, ensuring excellent vegetative development; the increase in temperatures and amount of water accumulated during the spring period led<br />to good cluster development in the summer period. The excellent summer temperatures and temperature fluctuations between day and night allowed aromatic substances to<br />accumulate on a large scale; the harvest period, characterised mainly by sunny days, enabled grapes to be picked at an optimal degree of ripeness. All this has translated<br />into highly structured wines with great aromatic expression.<br /><br />Technical notes<br />Wine Variety: Syrah, Vermentino<br />Alcohol content: 12%<br />Maturation: 3 months in steel tanks<br /><br />Vinification and ageing<br />Alìe's secret lies in the nature of the land, the vineyard management, and, of course, the human element. The grapes, once harvested, were transported to the cellar quickly<br />in order not to spoil or damage the bunches.One of the highlights of the production of Alìe was the pressing phase.Whole bunches were loaded into the press, an oxygen-<br />free environment. The pressure applied during this phase was extremely soft and gentle; this process, together with the carefully selected must and its subsequent<br />decanting for no fewer than 12 hours, helped to bring out the distinctive characteristics of this tempting rosé. The fermentations took place in stainless steel tanks at a<br />controlled temperature below 19° C. After maturing for a few months on fine lees, later including a period in the bottle, Alìe 2022 has turned out as persuasive and charming<br />as usual.<br /><br />Tasting notes<br />Alìe 2023 is characterised by its splendid pale pink colour. The bouquet is complex, with sensations that recall citrus notes, nectarine peach, floral notes of peony and rose.<br />It continues with notes of aromatic herbs, such as thyme, sage and rosemary. The iodine notes are beautiful. There is a notable harmony in taste and aroma. Your palate<br />will detect a beautiful freshness and notable flavour.<br />
