WINE DESCRIPTION

Masciarelli Rosato Colline Teatine is a vibrant and refreshing rosé crafted from 100% Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, showcasing the rich winemaking heritage of Abruzzo, Italy. Produced by Masciarelli, a pioneer in the region since 1981, this wine is sourced from vineyards situated at altitudes ranging from 250 to 440 meters across S. Martino sulla Marrucina, Ripa Teatina, and Bucchianico. The vineyards are managed using traditional Pergola Abruzzese and Guyot systems, yielding a balanced expression of the Montepulciano grape. The winemaking process involves gentle de-stemming and pressing, followed by about 15 days of static must settling and cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The result is a delicately structured rosé with fresh notes of red berries and a crisp, lively finish, ideal for pairing with a wide range of dishes.
