IRPINIA ROSATO DOC
Preview
Our rosé comes from the Aglianico vineyards located in the coolest areas of our hill in Paternopoli. The grapes are harvested in advance of those destined for Taurasi.
Collected in open boxes they reach the cellar where they get pressed directly without being destemmed. The result is a must with a light color which will evolve to pale pink.
