What kind of wine is it

Hedòs Rosato by Cantina Tollo is an Abruzzo rosé made from Montepulciano grapes and other red varieties. Vinified in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, it boasts a fresh and linear profile, with clear fruit and good savoriness. The style is immediate and modern, the body remains medium and the lively acidity offers an easy, precise drink. The sip is clean and consistent, with a dry and pleasant finish.

Where does it come from

The grapes come from Abruzzo vineyards, where the terroir adds to the expressiveness of the wine. The local identity is reflected in the personality and freshness that set this rosé apart.

How it is produced

Production begins with grape harvesting and cold maceration on the skins, which extracts a delicate color and aromatic components without excessive tannin. This is followed by gentle pressing and must separation, then pre-fermentation clarification. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperature, preserving freshness and varietal precision. Aging in steel, with protective oxygen management, maintains aromatic purity, acidic tension, and a straightforward fruity profile.

Tasting notes

Pale, luminous salmon-pink in appearance and even in tone. On the nose, aromas of orange peel, white peach and grapefruit stand out, with elderflower and a light citrus note. On the palate it is dry, lively acidity supports a medium body and a texture focused on crisp, clean fruit. The finish is long, with a saline sensation and citrus echoes, maintaining balance between freshness and softness.

What does it pair with

It pairs easily with seafood appetizers, fish carpaccio and summer salads with shellfish, where freshness and savoriness cleanse the palate. Perfect with delicate pasta dishes such as spaghetti with clams or seafood risotto, and pairs well with grilled vegetables and fresh cheeses. On a local food pairing, it enhances Abruzzo fish stew, especially the version from Vasto.

When to serve it

Serve well chilled, ideal for aperitifs, light lunches and summer dinners, and suitable year-round for those seeking a balanced and easy-drinking rosé. Medium-sized glasses best highlight the citrus and floral aromas. Not intended for aging; enjoy young to preserve freshness and vivacity.
