Description

Pink version of Negroamaro, one of the native vines of the Salento peninsula, of which Masseria Ficarigna is the spokesperson. The name of the winery refers to the prickly pear plant, the symbolic fruit of Salento. The label depicts a starfish, a very common species in the depths of the Adriatic Sea.

The grapes are harvested slightly early, aiming for freshness rather than sugar concentration. The clusters undergo a short pre-fermentation maceration at low temperature in order to obtain the desired color, after which the must continues the white vinification in stainless steel tanks. Before being bottled, the wine rests in steel for a few months.

It shows a cherry pink color. The aromas on the nose evoke freshly picked fruit and rose petal notes. On the palate it is a rosé played on minerality and freshness, qualities that together enhance its drinkability.

Recommended in combination with pizza and tomato-based first courses, it goes well with fresh cheeses of the Apulian tradition.
