**New** Mezzogiorno Rosato Puglia IGT

 

Formed in 2011, Mezzogiorno is an exciting venture, whose aim is to source high-quality fruit for the creation of wines which each embody the typical flavours and characteristics of the most common grapes native to Southern Italy. ‘Mezzogiorno’ translates as ‘Midday’ in Italian, but is also the word commonly used by Italians to refer to the southernmost regions of the peninsula and Sicily.


GRAPE VARIETIES

70% Negroamaro / 30% Malvasia Nera
 

 


VITICULTURE & VINIFICATION

The grapes for this Rosato are harvested mid way through September. The must is left to macerate with the skins for about 12 hours at a controlled temperature. After a soft pressing the must is fermented in stainless steel vats at a temperature of between 18 - 20 degrees.

 


TASTING NOTE

This lightly coloured rosé is a classic example from the south of Italy. Made from a combination of local red grape varieties, the wine shows an array of red fruit and berries, apples and melon with an intriguing underlying green herbal note. Fresh, vibrant fruit flavours provide texture and weight supported by bright, balancing acidity.
