Description
Torre dei Beati Cerasuolo D’Abruzzo Organic “Rosa-Ae” DOC 2020
Torre dei Beati Cerasuolo D’Abruzzo “Rosa-ae” has a bright, cherry colour, with a visual perception of a fresh and rich rosa-ae with a good density. It has intense flavours of strawberry, pomegranate and cherry, enhanced by elegant flowers, especially roses. The volume is full and smooth, with well-balanced acidity and minerality. It finishes with a long and persistent mouth. The intriguing character makes the wine very pleasant and flexible, making it a perfect match for a range of food.
At the estate, this is the first Montepulciano expression of a vintage and the first indicator of its quality. The extremely careful selection in the vineyard and on the sorting table, gives the wine a good body and maturity. The fresh flavours are enriched due to the low temperature fermentation, giving further proof of the flexibility of Montepulciano.
The grapes come from a vineyard that is grown on an altitude between 250 – 300m in clay-limestone soil. The vinification is partially from bleeding and part from a white vinification of the whole bunches and part from maceration with the skins cold temperature. Fermentation took place in steel at 15 – 16 °C
