Marche Rosato IGT Regina d’Inverno 2022

Montepulciano and Petit Verdot grapes are hand-picked towards the end of September, selecting the best bunches and placing them in crates to preserve their integrity. The bunches are delicately destemmed (separated from the stalk) and the grapes are softly pressed to extract the free-run must and the first fractions of color from the skins. The must remains in contact with the skins for a very short period. This skin maceration is crucial to extract the desired amount of rosé color and some aromatic compounds, without obtaining the tannic structure typical of red wines. The precise duration of this phase is not specified in detail, but it is defined as "very short". Once the desired color is achieved, the must is separated from the skins (racking). The must thus obtained is transferred to stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature (around 18°C) where alcoholic fermentation takes place. After fermentation, the wine ages for approximately 4 months in stainless steel tanks. This period allows the wine to stabilize and refine its aromatic profile without the addition of tertiary aromas from the wood. Finally, the wine is bottled and refined for a further 6 months in the bottle before being released for sale.
