Winemaking notes
Very soft pressing (max.0.8 bar) of grapes while still cold in temperature with further addition of dry ice in the press. Flotation of must in tank, addition of selected yeasts and fermentation between 13 and 16 °C. Racking.
In stainless steel on fine lees with weekly bâtonnage for about 60 days. Stabilisation, filtration, and bottling.
Viticultural notes
Rosa dei Masi is produced with Merlot grapes from vineyards in the upper Valpolicella where the high variation in diurnal temperatures produces incomparable aromas and supporting acidity.
The work in the cellars is aimed at preserving aromas and overall balance to produce a unique rosé.
Tasting notes
Pale pink with 'onion skin' reflections, intense floral aromas on the nose. Fresh and attractive on the palate with touches of plums and distinct hints of raspberries. Dry finish supported by attractive acidity.
Pairing notes
Excellent as an aperitif all year round, also to be enjoyed by the pool or on the seashore in combination with shellfish, oysters, and seafood. Perfect with sushi and a good pasta dish with clams.
