What kind of wine is it?

The process includes gentle pressing, static decantation, and fermentation at a controlled temperature with selected yeasts, yielding a clean and linear technical profile. Aging in stainless steel and subsequent rest in the bottle foster a fresh, precise style with good persistence.

Where does it come from?

This wine originates in Bolgheri, in southern Tuscany, where Giorgio Meletti Cavallari has been producing wines since 2002. Its origins define a rosé tied to a very specific and recognizable area, with an approach focusing on aromatic clarity and palate balance. The choice of Merlot and Syrah steers the style towards a fruity and fresh expression, consistent with a winemaking approach that emphasizes control and purity.

How is it made?

The Merlot and Syrah grapes are gently pressed for a delicate extraction and then undergo static decantation, naturally clarifying the must before fermentation. Fermentation occurs at a controlled temperature with selected yeasts to guide aromatic development and maintain consistency. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for several months and completes the process with a period of bottle aging.

Food pairings

At the table, it pairs well with cured meat appetizers, thanks to its freshness that accompanies the savoriness and its persistence that supports the aromatic intensity. It is also ideal with cacciucco, where the fresh sip helps to keep the palate clean and ensures continuity between bites without weighing down the dish.

When to serve

This is a rosé suitable when seeking freshness and clear aromas, enhanced by aging in steel and subsequent bottle rest. It is ideal to serve when you want a smooth and consistent sip, whether paired with cured meats or dishes like cacciucco, relying on stable balance and good persistence.
