Alfierirosato

13,30 € IVA Inclusa

The latest arrival in the Zagarella cellars, Alfierirosato represents the ultimate expression of Southern warmth. With a pale yet brilliant pink colour, it brings to mind plantations of peach blossoms. The olfactory profile offers a bouquet of floral notes and Mediterranean scrub. To the taste, it is fresh and intense, highly balanced, and with a remarkable persistence on the palate. Alfierirosato is ideal to accompany aperitifs and fresh cheeses, but it also pairs well with light first courses.

Production Technique

Harvesting takes place manually between the second and third ten days of September. The crushed grapes undergo a short cold maceration, followed by soft pressing and static decantation of the free-run must. Inoculation with selected yeasts follows, and alcoholic fermentation begins on the clean must. This continues at a controlled temperature of 16°C. At the end of fermentation, without malolactic fermentation, the wine matures on the fine lees for about 2 months at a constant temperature.
