This Tuscan Rosato is crafted from 100% Sangiovese sourced from a vineyard near Vinci on the western flank of the Chianti region. The soils are compact clay and limestone, alberese in the local vernacular. Winemaker Justin Bubb prefers the Sangiovese Grosso clone for his Rosato, favouring its more restrained fruit profile and savoury nuance. The fruit spends two to four hours on skins before fermenting and six months’ maturation on fine lees in concrete tanks.
Expect a textural, punchy, crisp Italian rosé with a delightful palate of silky berries and a dab of spice, with lovely savoury support and closing with a mouth-watering cherry skin bite. If you can get your hands on some Finocchiona, all the better.
