Rosato 2022 - 'A Vita

Rosato - A Vita

The 'A Vita' Rosé is a wine that can amaze you that comes from pure Gaglioppo grapes, probably the symbol of Calabria. The grapes come from vineyards that graze on clay-limestone soils located close to the sea. After harvesting at full maturity, in the cellar they make 12 hours of maceration on the skins in steel tanks. They then ferment spontaneously with indigenous yeasts only. The wine thus produced is aged for a few months in steel tanks. The A'Vita Rosato is cherry-colored. On the nose we perceive hints of wild strawberries and raspberries. In the mouth it is fresh and sapid with a long and mineral finish. A wine that will make you fall in love with Calabria.

Service

We taste it at a temperature of 8/10 ° in tulip glasses. Wine to be drunk immediately but left in the cellar for a few years can give great emotions.

Pairing

To combine with salami appetizers, fish first courses, stewed or barbecued fish, excellent with a baked turbot fillet and potatoes.

Cellar: A Vita

He goes to the faculty of oenology at Conegliano, and after graduating he goes back to his beloved Calabria, with the idea of ​​returning to the ground and enhancing the Gaglioppo, which has often been bruised with caricature versions. Francesco takes care of the old family vineyards, which are in an ideal position, kissed by the sea breeze, being close to the sea, and located on clay soils. It cultivated its 8 hectares of vineyard in a biological way, with non-invasive practices and with great respect for nature. In the cellar the interventions are minimized, the fermentations are spontaneous, the indigenous yeasts, the aging times of the wines are long, and no filtration is carried out before bottling. The first wine came out in 2008 and had an immediate success, a success that does not stop.
