Alea Rosa - Andrea Occhipinti

Alea Rosa by Andrea Occhipinti is a splendid rosé wine made from red grapes. After the manual harvest, the vinification is spontaneous with only indigenous yeasts in small cement tanks, with maceration on the skins for one night. Refines for 6 months in steel / cement tanks and at least 2 months in the bottle. Alea Rosa appears in a cherry pink glass. The nose evolves into fruity notes of cherry and strawberry, and floral scents of wild rose. In the mouth it is juicy, pleasant, with a nice freshness and minerality.

Pairing
