2021 Fattoria Sardi 11 Primavere Rose

2021 Fattoria Sardi 11 Primavere Rose Crisp and refreshing on the nose, with notes of wild roses, raspberries and melon with a subtle aroma of cream. Lucious, refreshing and enjoyable on the palate with well-balanced acidity. Fresh fruit on the finish.

Whether it’s playful and fun or savory and serious, most rosé today is not your grandmother’s White Zinfandel, though that category remains strong. Pink wine has recently become quite trendy, and this time around it’s commonly quite dry. Since the pigment in red wines comes from keeping fermenting juice in contact with the grape skins for an extended period, it follows that a pink wine can be made using just a brief period of skin contact—usually just a couple of days. The resulting color depends on grape variety and winemaking style, ranging from pale salmon to deep magenta.

The Fattoria Sardi winery is located in the Centre of Italy, in the North-West of Tuscany, precisely in the countryside between the Appennino mountains and the Tirrenean Sea, only 5 km from the walled city of Lucca. The winery is located between two rivers, the Freddana and the Serchio. The soils are sandstones of the “Tuscan Boulder” with neutral ph. On the plain the soil is loose, silt-sandy with shingles. On the hill the soil is clay with good skeleton. The exposure goes from South-East to South-West. The proximity to the sea ensures a lot of sunshine and constant ventilation. The mountains provide plenty of water and cool nights also during the summer time. The Fattoria Sardi estate includes woods, cultivated fields, olive groves and 18 hectares of specialized vineyards.
