Rosato – La Vigna di Riva – Ca’ Vescovado
The cultivation of vines has its roots in ancient times, as seen in the discovery of grape seeds preserved in wineskins during excavations at a Roman villa near Marina di Lugugnana.
Territory:
The vineyards are ideally located between the sea and the mountains, allowing them to benefit from a mild climate and refreshing sea breezes. These favourable conditions promote healthy vine growth, ultimately enhancing the quality of wines. The land is flat and of alluvial origin, with soil rich in mineral salts, including calcium and magnesium carbonate. These minerals add a distinct salinity and minerality to the grapes, which is reflected in the wines.
A Sylvoz training system is used, with a density of 3,000 plants per hectare and a yield of 130 quintals per hectare.
Winemaking:
The grapes are harvested manually, destemmed, and soft-pressed. Cryomaceration occurs 24 hours at 5°C to extract the primary aromas from the skins. The must is then fermented at a temperature of 14-16°C using selected yeasts for 8 to 14 days. After fermentation, it is aged in stainless steel for 6 months.
Tasting Notes:
The flavour offers a refreshing dryness, perfectly complemented by balanced acidity and a subtle mineral finish. The aroma captivates with its intensity, showcasing delicate floral notes of rose intertwined with vibrant hints of pink grapefruit, creating an enticing and memorable experience.
