Product Notes
From the 2021 vintage Castello Vicchiomaggio has a new rosato, FLOREALE. Contemporary wine making and packaging was developed in line with the current style global wine enthusiasts are requesting.
Sangiovese with a small amount of Merlot are the grapes used for FLOREALE Rosato. The skins and juice remain in contact very briefly, just enough time in order to ensure an attractive and very elegant pale salmon colour. There follows a very slow fermentation at controlled low temperatures, ensuring the wine retains all its delicate characteristics. There is no oak maturation at all and FLOREALE is usually ready to be bottled by early February.
On the palate the wine is long lasting and floral, extremely well balanced, firm and crisp thanks to the Sangiovese. The Merlot contributes subtle but persistent hints of ripe red fruits and berries. The after taste is very pleasing and long lasting.
FLOREALE Rosato needs to be enjoyed chilled but not iced in order to allow it to open up fully once poured.
