Casale Del Giglio - Albiola 2023 - Lazio IGT
€ 13.35
This rosé wine is made from 85% Syrah and 15% Sangiovese*.
*(Proportions may vary slightly from year to year depending on the vintage)
The dark-skinned red grapes are gently crushed and left to stand in stainless steel tanks for several hours. After this initial period of cold maceration on the skins at 8-10°C, some of the juice is drained (or ‘bled’) from the tanks and fermented separately, a process known as ‘saignée’ (from the French ‘saigner’, to bleed).
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at a temperature of around 18°C for 8-10 days.
The resulting rosé wine is rich, with a vibrant personality, faithful to the floral and fruity aromas typical of the best rosés but with enough body to challenge many a red.
TASTING NOTE
S: The colour of deep pink roses with a violet tinge, Albiola presents an aroma of small woodland berries, dominated by raspberry and wild strawberry. Fresh, lively and well balanced on the palate, the wine presents a long, fruity finish.
SUGGESTED FOOD PAIRING
: perfect partner for a fresh tomato flavoured Mediterranean fish soup, or with a selection of cold cuts
