A truly delicious Rosato with intensity of flavour, tannic grip and taught acidity all in perfect balance. A blend of equal parts Nero d’Avola and Frappato, fermented with a pied de cuve of Zibbibo (Moscato) and then aged for eight months in concrete tanks. It has all the wild fruit forwardness of Nero d’Avola and the fresh tautness of Frappato, lined by subtle herbaceousness and mouth-watering blood-orange zing. Lingering flavours of pomegranate and pink grapefruit, supported by crunchy acidity.
