'A' Toscano Rosato IGT2015...
A Toscana Rosato IGT 2015<br /><br />Climate: The 2015 vintage was characterised by a cold and wet winter. The cold temperatures and the abundant rainfall slightly slowed down the pruning operations, which<br />were completed during the first week of March.<br />The abundant availability of water in the soil and the increase in temperature in April contributed to an excellent budding and vegetative development of the plants. The<br />spring months gave way to a typically Mediterranean summer, with high daily temperatures and an absence of rainfall, resulting in significant temperature fluctuations<br />between day and night. The combination of these factors allowed the grapes to reach perfect ripeness quickly for the production of 'A', bringing the harvest forward to the<br />second week of September.<br /><br />Vinification: The grapes come from selected vineyards managed exclusively for the production of 'A'. After being harvested by hand in several stages, the grapes arrived in<br />the winery and were destemmed and softly crushed. The must with its skins was macerated at low temperatures for about 4-6 hours. This short cold maceration favoured<br />the extraction of colour and of the more delicate aromatic substances, thus obtaining a fresh must, without astringent notes and with a strong aromatic connotation. The<br />must was transferred into small stainless steel tanks and fermented at a controlled temperature of 16 c°. At the end of alcoholic fermentation the wine was kept on its own<br />yeasts until bottling.<br /><br />Tasting notes: to the eye it is brilliant with a light pink colour. On the nose the delicate floral notes of roses fade away leaving room for more fragrant notes of small red fruits<br />and citrus fruits. On the palate it is elegant and its flavour blends harmoniously with the fruity notes giving it an excellent persistence.<br />
