Lately, many of you have asked:
"Why is your rosé lighter? Why does it feel more delicate?"
The answer is simple, yet it tells a deeper story, one of brave choices and listening closely to the vineyard.
Climate change is no longer a distant issue. It’s here, in our hills, in grapes that ripen faster, in dry soils, and in harvests that ask us to rethink what we once took for granted. So, we’ve changed too.
Until last year, we used to harvest our Sangiovese – which makes up 70% of the blend –at the end of August, and the Montepulciano in mid-September. But starting last vintage we made a key change: we harvested 50% of the Sangiovese shortly after mid-August, to preserve freshness, natural acidity, and lower alcohol levels.
We also rethought the way we process Montepulciano: no more 2–3 hours of skin contact. Starting in 2024, it goes through direct pressing, resulting in a finer, lighter, more elegant must. pressatura diretta, per ottenere un mosto più fine, delicato, luminoso.
And this means that since last year, our rosé no longer comes from two harvests, but from three::
an early Sangiovese harvest, a later one at fuller ripeness, and finally the Montepulciano.
It’s a more complex process, but it gives us greater control over balance, acidity, and finesse – always in tune with the vintage.
The result? A rosé with a paler, almost ethereal color.
But don’t be fooled: the personality hasn’t changed. It’s still dry, fresh, and well-structured, with the kind of elegance that makes it a pleasure to sip and share.
In fact, it has become even more drinkable and refreshing.
Our rosé is the result of a conscious decision – not to compromise, but to adapt in order to stay true to who we are..
