Chloè 2020 - Abbazia San Giorgio

Chloè - Abbazia San Giorgio

 Cloè from Abbazia San Giorgio is a rosé wine made from Nerello Mascalese grapes that come from vineyards located on volcanic soils. In the cellar the fermentations take place spontaneously, with brief maceration on the skins in the case of this rosé which then ages for 12 months between steel and chestnut. No clarification or filtration. A wine that gives aromas of small red fruits, marine and saline notes. The sip is medium-bodied, fresh and dynamic

Service

We recommend tasting it at a temperature of 10/12° in tulip glasses. Wine to be drunk immediately but left a few years in the cellar can give great emotions.

Pairing

To combine with traditional Sicilian dishes, vegetables, salumi starters, but also more structured dishes such as pasta or stewed read fish

Winery: Abbey San Giorgio

The company Abbazia San Giorgio is located on the island of Pantelleria. Here viticulture is so difficult to be called "heroic". The company was founded in 2015 by Battista Belvisi, an agronomist expert in ecological viticulture and "natural" winemaking. Battista leads about 3.5 hectares of vineyards located in Khamma, in the south-eastern part of Pantelleria Island. The vines are run in biodynamic and bred in Zibibbo, Grillo and Pignatello, Carignano and Nerello Mascalese. All the vines are grown with the typical pantesco system, that is to say alberello, the only system that allows the growth of the vine on this island. Baptist in the vineyards does not use pesticides, cryptogams or any other type of chemical, but only small amounts of copper and sulfur. The grapes are harvested by hand with selection of grapes. In the cellar, fermentation takes place spontaneously by indigenous yeasts and both red and white are vinified in red with long maceration.
