IGT Toscana Rosato 'Rosato di Ampeleia'

Italy
Tuscany
2022

80% Carignano, 20% Alicante Nero (aka Grenache).  This is the 1st Rosato from Ampeleia!  The Carignano was direct-pressed and then whole clusters of the Alicante Nero were added to the tank, macerating there for 12 days and coloring the wine. All concrete. Low alcohol, salty, with a hint of welcome tannin. Certified biodynamic. 5,000 bottles made.

" The '2022 Rosato di Ampeleia is like a spice box on the nose, full of incense, dried citrus peels, blood orange, cinnamon and baked apple. It's soft upon entry yet quickly delivers a zesty burst of sour berries and tropical melon, all guided by vibrant acidity. A liquid, floral staining of concentration lingers, yet the energy remains high as the Rosato di Ampeleia keeps the mouth watering for more. This is a totally captivating Rosato that's nearly impossible to put down. It's a blend of 80% Carignano and '20% Alicante Nero."
