Frescobaldi Tenuta Ammiraglia Aurea Gran Rosé 2024 Toscana Rosato IGT

This is a Toscana Rosato IGT from Tenuta Ammiraglia, a Frescobaldi estate on the Maremma coast. It blends Vermentino and Syrah, chosen to express the meeting of sea and vineyard. The whole bunches are gently pressed and the juice settles for at least 12 hours. Fermentation takes place at 16 degrees in French oak tonneaux, 20% of them new, followed by eight months on fine lees in wood. Pale rose-gold in the glass, it has an intense nose of freshly picked fruit. The palate is medium-bodied, soft and velvety, with fresh acidity underlined by minerality and an interesting length. Seafood dishes suit it well.
