Barone Ricasoli 2021 Albia Toscana Rose 750ml

Tasting Notes: Delicate rose petal color. Elegant bouquet of rose and violet, lightly spiced. The mouth is fresh, round, delicious with a caressing and mineral finish. Serve cool.

Grape Varieties: Sangiovese, Merlot

Food Pairing: Delicious as an aperitif, serve with crudités and fresh cheeses, white meat and light cuisine

Growing Season:

The 2012 autumn and the 2012-2013 winter were among the rainiest of the last few years. The soil was wet for the whole winter season. This led to a good water supply. The real spring began on April 10th when it stopped raining and there was a sudden change in temperature with extremely high average day temperatures. The Merlot harvest started on September 4th base wine of the rosé, producing fresh wines with particularly spicy notes. These will later be blended with the Sangiovese- on September 27th in the early-ripening area - base fermented as white, without skins, which will give greater fruit and balance to our Albia 2013.
