Tasting Notes
Tenuta di Capraia Rosato is a fresh and delicate wine, with a pale coppery pink color. In the nose, it reminds of hawthorn, roses and wisteria over a background of white fruit with light tropical notes, which can be felt again in the mouth, together with intense fruity flavors. An elegant wine, fresh and with pleasant minerality.
Winemaking
50% of the must is obtained by direct crushing of the grapes. It is then statically clarified in a tank where fermentation takes places for 7 days under controlled temperature (14-16C) For the other half, the cap is lifted after only 4h of maceration. The must is then clarified and fermentation takes place for one week under controlled temperature of 14-16C. During fermentation, when approx. half of the process is done, both parts are blended and the alcoholic fermentation goes on for another 7-8 days at 15-17C. The wine rests on the fermentation yeasts for two months before bottling.
