Vino di Anna Jeudi 15 Vino Rosato 2022 750ml

Organic. Roughly 90% Nerello Mascalese and 20% Alicante. In 2022, grapes for this Rosato came from three vineyards: 120 year-old bush vines of Nerello Mascalese grown on the iron-rich, pomace soils of Monte Pomiciaro, near the village of Linguaglossa, at 600msl. The other two parcels are old bush vine vineyards co-planted to Nerello Mascalese and Alicante, on stony basalt soils, on the NW side of Mt. Etna, in Contrada Nave, 1000msl. 100% whole bunches from all three vineyards were left to macerate for 3 days in 10hL mastellone (food-grade red tubs) with some gentle hand punchdowns. The lightly fermenting bunches were then pressed; fermentation continued in qvevri until dryness. Malolactic fermentation followed. Unfined and unfiltered. Vino di Anna says: “After skipping a year of making this wine due to the extremely hot growing season of 2021, ‘Jeudi 15’ 2022 is how we like our Rosato to be – vibrant, fresh, crunchy and mineral.”
