rosè wines
Rosé
D.O.P.
The grapes of our Rosè, come from different clones of the autochthnous variety, Petite Rouge, from new and old vines, that contribute to its notable organoleptic complexity. Vinified as a rosè the intention was to give this variety a new expression, rather than the tradional red Torrette that has always been part of our regional heritage of wines
