Vinification
The Rosato di Ampeleia is the result of the combination of two grape varieties: whole bunches of Alicante Nero are left to infuse into the must of Carignano grapes and are pushed to the surface by fermentation, where they shake and gently release their flavor. Rosato di Ampeleia originates from plots grown in reddish clay/sandy/limestone soils with round pebbles.
Although there is not much sand in our soils, the vineyards that produce the grapes for Rosato are an exception. Here, the extraordinary diversity of soil of the local territory is reflected in the luminosity of the Rosato di Ampeleia.
