Cirelli Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo 2023

Grape: Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Vintage: 2023
Type: Rose

The organically grown grapes are hand-harvested in small baskets in late September or Early October, depending on the year. The type of vintage will also decide whether the grapes are left to macerate a few hours on their skins or whether the grapes are directly pressed to produce a lighter rosé. After this time, the free-run juice is then fermented at cool temperatures until dry. Deep red for a rosé, the wine is remarkably fruity showing pungent berry notes in the nose along with some spice and even citrus. On the palate, the wine has a somewhat saline mineral texture balanced with the forward fruit concentration.
