WINE DESCRIPTION
Valenti Poesia Etna Rosato is a distinguished expression of Sicilian winemaking, crafted from 100% Nerello Mascalese grapes in the Etna DOC region. Produced by Cantine Valenti, this organic rosé reflects the commitment to sustainable viticulture and the unique characteristics of the Etna terroir. The grapes are sourced from the Contrada Corvo area in Castiglione di Sicilia, where vines thrive at altitudes between 600 and 800 meters on fertile, lava-rich soils. The winemaking process involves a careful eight-hour cold maceration with the skins, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 14-16°C. After six months of aging on lees in stainless steel and an additional three months in bottle, Valenti Poesia presents a wine of extraordinary aromatic complexity, vibrant freshness, and notable minerality. This rosé is a testament to the elegance and depth achievable from the volcanic landscapes of Mount Etna.
