Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo 2022 Bossanova

Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo is Bossanova's rosé wine made from pure Montepulciano grapes, an eclectic vine capable of producing very different products with extraordinary potential, such as full-bodied and structured reds for ageing, but also unique and difficult to find rosés, such as this Cerasuolo, which manages to combine freshness and liveliness, pleasant aromas of fragrant red fruits and remarkable structure, a complete wine with excellent balance and character, a faithful interpreter of its terroir. The vineyards of Montepulciano are located on the hills of the small town of Controguerra, in the Colline Teramane DOCG area, an area renowned for its biodiversity, where the unique microclimate, thanks to the proximity of the Adriatic Sea and the Apennines, favours the cultivation of high-quality vines. The grapes for Cerasuolo are harvested from a single plot of land, where the average age of the vines is 40 years, and the soil is composed mainly of clay and limestone. The grapes are picked by hand and placed in small containers. In the cellar, vinification is carried out with red grapes, starting with crushing and destemming, followed by soft pressing of the grapes. The fermentation is spontaneous and is carried out by indigenous yeasts naturally present on the skins of the grapes; no sulphites or other additives are added. After alcoholic fermentation, Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo matures in cement tanks for 8 months and is then bottled without clarification or filtration. The cherry-pink colour of the glass promises vitality, while the bouquet reveals sweet floral and fruity notes of redcurrant, wild strawberry, raspberry and a delicate finish of Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is lively, fresh and well structured, with a relaxed finish, enriched by a pleasant salty persistence that invites you to take another sip. This wine is recommended with dishes with lively flavours such as pasta with aromatic red sauces, quality cured meats, white meats or fish dishes such as seafood salads. It also goes well with pizza.
