Proprietor Fabio Marchionni says:
A neighbor offered to rent me his vineyard, planted with 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, already being farmed organically. I couldn't refuse, great position, very steep slope (almost too steep!), the soil rocky and rich in limestone. The vineyard is surrounded by 50 acres of woods. Every time I go there to work with my tractor there's a crow that keeps me company; he sits on a stake and waits for the tractor to turn over something interesting.
Only the best rosé wines can relinquish their packaging and fully express their territoriality. Although its small production, this Rosé captures Collestefano in a bottle: raspberry juice colour at the sight and freshly reminiscent of red berries at the nose. Its winy mouth-feel is mellow, crisp like a white wine, with pure closing notes of geranium, red apple, aniseed.
That’s an incredibly easy-drinking wine.
