THE VINE’S SELECTION

The focus on the indigenus varieties, the research of ancient biotypes, experimentation in the vineyard with the selection of clones pairing with the elective soil, represent the peculiarities of our work as vinegrowers.

Our  Inzolia Rosa”(pink inzolia) is a good examples of this approach. An ancient biotype of Calabrese, grown on this hills since ever, becomes the hearth or our rosé wines. The calcareous clay of the Munti area, on the top of the hill facing North-West, pemits an ideal ripening of these grapes, preserving its perfumes, minerality, acidic backbone, particularly suited for the production of rosé wines.

SENSORY PROFILE

A pink colour with salmon glints. The perlage is very fine and persistent. To the nose releases exotic red fruits with notes of lychee and strawberry. It’s creamy and sweet to the palate, it highlights the aromatic notes of fruit and pastry, enhancing a transverse complexity.
