Description
What kind of wine it is
Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo Marchesi Migliorati is an organic rosé wine with controlled designation of origin and is vegan, produced from Montepulciano grapes. This expression stands out for its clear and complex aromas, offering an authentic interpretation of the region. The winemaking process involves maceration on the skins in stainless steel for about fifteen days, followed by six months of ageing. On the palate, it displays a slender and persistent structure, making it ideal for pairing with beef and pork as well as mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
The grapes grow in the Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo area, within mid-hill vineyards situated at three hundred metres above sea level. The south-east exposure and cool climate favour a clear and consistent aromatic expression. The clay soils deeply characterise these lands, defining a flavour profile of great purity. The combination of these environmental factors results in a vibrant freshness on the palate, ensuring a linear progression and excellent drinkability.
How it is produced
Following the October harvest, the Montepulciano grapes, grown using the cordon training system, undergo maceration on the skins to extract the typical colour. Fermentation without temperature control takes place in steel containers for fifteen days, enhancing the original aromatic components. Afterwards, the wine undergoes six months of ageing in steel. This technique preserves the fragrance of the fruit, delivering pronounced aromatic clarity and a pleasant complexity without compromising its essence.
