Rosato “A”, Fattoria Aldobrandesca

£27.93

The pale coral colour belies the intensity of the aromas of rose petals and red berries, which follow through on the palate. The fresh acidity lifts the intense fruit flavours, giving a lengthy, balanced finish.

Producer

The Antinori family have been producing wine in Tuscany for six centuries, and exporting it for four. The purchase of the Tignanello estate in 1900 marked the beginning of a remarkable period of expansion which shows no signs of abating. Through judicious acquisition of vineyards and an uncanny knack for developing iconic wines, Antinori has become Tuscany’s – arguably Italy’s – pre-eminent wine producer, with an important presence in Piedmont, Lombardy, Umbria and Puglia as well as their Tuscan heartland.

Vineyard

Grapes were grown in the vineyards of Antinori’s Fattoria Aldobrandesca estate near the historical village of Sovana in southern Tuscany. The grapes were harvested at full maturity in late September.

Winery

The grapes were destemmed and gently crushed, then given 4-6 hours’ cold maceration. The must was then transferred to small stainless-steel tanks for temperature controlled fermentation at 16ºC. After fermentation was completed the wine underwent a period of ageing in stainless steel tanks before bottling.
