Rosé winesarea type of wine that falls somewhere between white and red wines. They are made from red grapes, but the winemaking process involves limited contact with the skins, which gives them their characteristic pink color, which can range from pale to intense, depending on the technique used and the grape variety.
Rosé wine is produced in various ways, but two are the main ones:direct pressing, which involves a brief maceration of the skins with the must, andtemperature-controlled maceration, which allows for the extraction of a greater quantity of color and aroma. Vinification is similar to that of white wines, with fermentation in steel or stainless steel to preserve the freshness and fruitiness of the product.
Rosé wines are generally light, fresh, and aromatic, with notes of red fruit such as strawberry, cherry, and raspberry, and sometimes even floral and citrus notes. Some more structured rosés may also have a light spice or mineral edge.
This category of wines is highly versatile and lends itself to a variety of food pairings: excellent with fish dishes, salads, white meats, and fresh cheeses, but also with pizza and lighter dishes. Perfect as an aperitif, rosés are especially popular during the summer season for their freshness and lightness.
Rosé wine is an option that combines the liveliness of white wines with the character of reds, offering a fresh and lively, yet complex and refined sensory experience.
