Description
Still rosé from Tuscany IGT, 12.5% ABV, produced by Tenuta Ammiraglia - Frescobaldi. A blend of Syrah and Vermentino, 2021 vintage. A rosé born in the heart of Maremma, where proximity to the sea combines with the typical vineyard practices for white varieties and a white winemaking process for Syrah as well. Manual harvest. The grapes were hand-picked with meticulous and rigorous selection of the bunches, starting at first light and always during the coolest hours of the day. Its bouquet is deep and intense, immediately intriguing with elegant notes of fresh fruit. On the palate, it is velvety and juicy, accompanied by sweet and spicy aromas. The characteristic mineral notes, elevated by elegant acidity, give Aurea personality, persistence, and depth on the palate. Its finish is long and complex.

| Story | The secret of Aurea lies in the combination of territorial characteristics, vineyard management and, of course, the human factor. Aurea was born where proximity to the sea is combined with a vineyard management process typical of white varieties and a white production process for Syrah as well. Its unmistakable elegance, combined with a full body, is the result of meticulous attention in the vineyard and cellar. From the vineyard to the cellar, attention to detail is paramount. |
| Harvest | Manual. The grapes were harvested by hand with scrupulous and rigorous selection of the bunches, starting at the crack of dawn and always during the coolest hours of the day. |
| Wine making | Once harvested, the grapes were quickly transported to the cellar where careful and painstaking work began. The bunches loaded into the press whole and in the absence of oxygen were meticulously controlled. The pressures applied during this phase were the softest and gentlest, so as not to stress the berries; this process, together with the careful selection of the musts and their subsequent decanting for no less than 12 hours, made it possible to eliminate any less elegant vegetable components. Fermentation took place at a controlled temperature (16°C) in 600 l French oak tonneaux, medium toasted and 20% new. |
| Aging | At the end of this period, the two varieties were blended, followed by a period of ageing on fine fermentation lees for 8 months. At a later stage, a small selection of Syrah vinified in white from the previous harvest (Vin de Reserve) was added and aged in barrels for 20 months. |
