Rosé

Rosé wines are a type of wine that sits between white and red wines. They are made from red grape varieties, but the winemaking process involves limited contact with the skins, which gives them their characteristic pink color, ranging from pale to more intense shades depending on the technique used and the grape variety.

The production of rosé wine takes place in different ways, but the two main methods are: direct pressing, which involves a short maceration of the skins with the must, and controlled-temperature maceration, which allows for a greater extraction of color and aroma. The vinification process is similar to that of white wines, with fermentation typically taking place in steel or stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and fruitiness of the product.

Rosé wines are generally light, fresh, and aromatic, with notes of red fruits such as strawberry, cherry, and raspberry, and sometimes floral and citrus hints. Some more structured rosés may also show slight spiciness or a mineral touch.

This category of wines is very versatile and pairs well with a variety of foods: excellent with seafood, salads, white meats, and fresh cheeses, as well as pizza and lighter dishes. They are perfect as an aperitif and are particularly appreciated during the summer months for their freshness and lightness.

Rosé wine is an option that combines the vivacity of white wines with the character of reds, offering a sensory experience that is fresh and lively, yet complex and refined.
