Bruno Giacometto Canavese Rosato 2022 750ml

Certified Organic. Nebbiolo, Barbera, Neretto di Bairo, Freisa, Merlot. The plots where Giacometto’s red grape varieties grow feature morainic soils from the Quaternary Period. These soils are typical of a subalpine zone known as the Canavese, which is centered on the town of Caluso. They are rich in mineral salts and yield remarkable acidity and sapidity in the wines of the zone. The harvested bunches are placed in ventilated crates and stored for 4-5 days at 39°F, a process known as precryomaceration. The chilled grapes are pressed in a pneumatic tank and left in contact with the skins for 2-4 hours. Afterward, the grapes are pressed gently but continuously in order to achieve a cleaner must. Alcoholic fermentation occurs spontaneously in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks at 61-63°F. The wine is subsequently racked to stainless-steel tanks, where it remains in contact with the fine lees. Tartaric stabilization is effectuated through cold precipitation, after which the wine is bottled.
