Description

The rosé wine 'Meticcio' from Lecci e Brocchi is a fascinating and eclectic blend of native and non-native varieties, hence the name 'Meticcio', vinified in white, a technique that makes it possible to obtain a rosé wine. Among these black berry varieties, Canaiolo nero, Malvasia nera, Ciliegiolo and Alicante stand out. A very expressive label, with a dynamic and fresh drink, accompanied by the right acidity in the finish, ideal for various gastronomic occasions. The grapes come from various plots of land, but all in the area of Villa a Sesta, in the municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga, where the winery is located at about 420 metres above sea level. Harvesting takes place between the end of September and the beginning of October, when the grapes for this blend have reached full phenolic and technological ripeness, i.e. when the berries have reached the right ratio of sugars and acids on the one hand, and the right anthocyanin and tannin content on the other. On arrival at the winery, the grapes are pressed immediately after destemming and the must is immediately transferred to the fermentation vats, without any period of maceration on the skins to avoid excessive colour extraction from the skins. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of about 18°C for about 20 days. "Meticcio has a pale pink colour with ruby highlights. On the nose, the aromas of fruit and flowers are clear, alternating with elegance and harmony, accompanied by light mineral tones. On the palate, the remarkable body and the right acidity give the wine a pleasant and fresh character. This versatile rosé can be enjoyed as an aperitif or with first and second courses based on fish and white meats.
