Winemaking
After the fully ripe grapes are hand-harvested and destemmed, the traditional maceration process takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks. Next comes ageing for 12 months in large oak barrels from Slovenia, followed by 6 - 12 months of bottle ripening.
Our tasting note
Deep ruby red with garnet reflections. On the nose, elegant and complex aromas of blackberries, currants and almond, along with somewhat balsamic notes. On the palate, balanced, with a rich bouquet and suggestions of roast hazelnuts, leather and tobacco, plus a hint of chocolate. A harmonious overall impression with a long, intense finish.
Cantine Rosa del Golfo
Azienda Vinicola Rosa del Golfo is one of the major quality pioneers of Apulia. The young Damiano Calò, son of Mino Calò, who sadly passed away far too early, has mastered the balancing act between tradition and innovation like no other. The result is one of the best rosé wines in Apulia. The use of these high quality grapes - time-consumingly harvested by hand - for a rosé wine, which is then vinified à la français (Saignée method) is itself something of a rarity. However, numerous international awards from one vintage to the next are motivation enough to continue this consistent quality approach.
