'A' Rosato Fattoria Aldobrandesca - Antinori 2021

“A” is a wine that arises from a great challenge taken on by the Antinori family at the Fattoria Aldobrandesca: to create a Rosé of absolute quality, made from a terroir rich in charm, that of Maremma Toscana, and from a grape that has ancient roots in this area, the Aleatico. An aromatic label that engages the nose and palate with subtle sensations, extraordinarily elegant, that do not go unnoticed by the attentive taster. A bottle whose name, “A”, pays homage to the initials of both the Farm and the varietal, in an inseparable union between the volcanic soil that characterizes the vineyards and the grape that grows there.

This Rosé wine “A” from the Fattoria Aldobrandesca - Antinori is made from pure grapes of a variety not very widespread in Italy, which, however, finds in Tuscany one of its chosen terroirs, the Aleatico. This variety has indeed been cultivated here since the times of the Etruscans, confirming itself today as an important grape for viticulture. The terroir is flat, of volcanic origin, characterized by tuff substrates. After a brief cold maceration, the must ferments in stainless steel containers.stainless steel, where the temperature is controlled. Always in steel the wine then rests for a few months, before being bottled and marketed.

The Rosé “A” made by the Antinori winery within the Fattoria Aldobrandesca reveals itself to the eye with a color reminiscent of coral, decidedly bright. Small berries alternate with hints of more exotic fruit, from which a slight Mediterranean aroma also emerges. On tasting, it is light-bodied, easy-drinking, and smooth, with a refreshing and mineral sip, where the palate finds that Mediterranean imprint that was already wafting in the nose. A perfect rosé for all occasions, which is recommended to try with a dinner of Japanese sushi and sashimi.
