100% Sangiovese (40% Montesecondo/60% sourced). The bunches are harvested by hand and destemmed. The berries are slowly pressed, picking up a deep pink color in the process. Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts and without sulfur or temperature control in stainless steel tank. The wine ages in tank for 5 months and then is bottled unfiltered for another 6 months of aging before release. Classified as a Vino da Tavola, this rosé is part of a newer line of wines from Silvio Messana--featuring his own rather than Montesecondo's name on the differently styled labels--created to allow for some experimentation and expansion beyond the core estate wines.
