IRPINIA ROSATO DOCPreview
The Fonsè is a refined and delicate rosé wine, originating from Aglianico vineyards located in the cooler areas of the Paternopoli hills. The grapes are harvested earlier than those destined for the production of Taurasi, ensuring the wine’s freshness and elegance.
The manual harvest is conducted in open crates that are quickly transported to the winery, where the whole clusters are gently and directly pressed. This process allows for obtaining a very light-colored must, which, during the wine’s evolution, develops into an elegant pale pink color.

Winemaking and aging:
The bunches, picked by hand and placed in crates, are quickly transported to the nearby cellar, where they are pressed. The decanted must starts its fermentation at a controlled temperature: a part ferments and refines in steel where it rests on fine yeasts for at least 6 months, a second part ferments and refines in multi-passage barriques.
Organoleptic characteristics:
The color is pale pink. The nose presents floral aromas and red berry fruit, slightly citrus notes accompanied by light hints of exotic fruit. On the other hand, the taste is fresh, full body and of great sapidity. It is engaging and with a long finish due to the light tannin released by the vine.
Pairings
Ideal with appetizers, grilled vegetables, white meats, and grilled fish. For optimal tasting, serve at temperatures between 8 and 10 degrees C.
