Calabretta Rosato Sicilia IGT

A rosé from Calabretta, made from Nerello Mascalese. It comes from young vines, partly ungrafted, in contrada Calderara and is vinified with the traditional pista e mutta method: the must is pressed and racked at once, so without skins the wine has less tannin and colour than a red. The nose shows Mediterranean scrub, plum, cherry, thyme and maritime pine. The palate is textured and full, very long and balanced by marked freshness, closing with a persistent, fruity finish. It suits structured fish dishes, including baked fish, and a rich mixed paella.
