Rosato 'Amelia' I Veroni 2023

The Rosé 'Amelia' from the Tuscan winery I Veroni stands out as much for its smooth, refreshing drinkability as for its distinctly floral aromas. The name of this label comes from the Alba Amelia rose variety, which is characterized by a beautiful pink color. Rose plants are traditionally placed at the beginning of vine rows because certain pests such as powdery mildew are polyphagous, meaning they attack multiple plant species. Symptoms occur days earlier on roses than on grapevines, and this stratagem therefore makes it possible to prevent the development of the disease by carrying out treatment at the right time.

I Veroni Rosato 'Amelia' is produced with only Sangiovese grapes grown in the I Domi vineyard in Pianottolo, at an altitude of about 250 meters above sea level. Harvesting is done by hand in crates and the grapes are vinified into rosé through a short maceration on the skins. The must obtained from the crushing and destemming of the grapes ferments at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, the same type of wine containers where the mass remains to mature for 6 months before final bottling.

'Amelia' Rosato I Veroni possesses a bright pink color with brilliant reflections. The nose offers crisp and delicate scents of red fruits, violet petals and dog rose. Very fresh and balanced the sip, from the slight tannic sensation and the savory timbre that accompany the finish of great taste-olfactory correspondence in the fruity and floral perceptions. By virtue of its remarkable dynamism and gracefulness, this rosé can be enjoyed on its own as a lighthearted aperitif or at the table paired with light seafood appetizers, vegetable soups or fresh cheeses.
