Description
Still organic rosé, 13.5% ABV, produced by La Valentina in Abruzzo. 100% Montepulciano, 2024 vintage. A Cerasuolo born from passion and respect for nature, with grapes grown at 150-300 meters above sea level on clay soils. Maceration on the skins for approximately 18 hours, slow fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, and aging for four months, again outdoors in stainless steel. The aromas are intense, with rose hips, fresh cherry, pomegranate, and wild strawberries standing out. A rich, bright pink color reminiscent of pomegranate seeds. On the palate, it is rich and pleasant, full-bodied and savory, with balanced warmth and a delicate tannic texture that immerses in an aftertaste with nuances of anise and almond.

Our wines are the natural products of our own terroir – our unique combination of terrain and soil – which we try to convey to every bottle and which is the secret of our original taste. The local micro-climate and the land itself, to which our vines are bound and so well-adapted, give us wines of unique and distinctive character. We are convinced that a fine wine is born from the sum of countless tiny details, so our objective must not only be to consistently produce fine wines, but also to make sure that they are and will always remain authentic.
