Cantaloro Toscana I.G.T. Rosato

BOTTLE NOTES

Cantaloro is the entry wine of Avignonesi and is available in white, rosé and red. The wines are fruit forward, easy drinking and accessible. A fantastic option for an everyday bottle.

Cantaloro Rosato with its light pink onion peel colour has intense notes of grapefruit and lemon followed by guava and water melon. The flavour is fresh and fruity with a dry finish.

GRAPES

100% Sangiovese from various vineyards, that we select carefully each vintage.

HARVEST

The grapes were picked at the first half of September.

VINIFICATION

Short maceration on the skins, followed by a soft pressing of partly whole bunches,

partly destemmed grapes, followed by racking off of the must. Fermentation took place

with the use of pied de cuve.

Pied de cuve is the process by which a small batch of grapes is pre-harvested and used

for preparing a vineyard-specific natural yeast, which becomes the “base stock” for

fermentation when the main batch of grapes is harvested one week later.

By using this self-made, natural yeast we enhance the tie between the vineyard and the

wine, which will have a greater sense of place.

AGEING

The wine ferments in stainless steel tanks and ages on fine lees for 3 months.
