Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT Rosé 2021 Villscheider

The Zweigelt Rosé is a rosé wine from the South Tyrolean Villscheider winery owned by the Hilpold family, whose wines can be tasted on the farm, the traditional restaurant-house. The name "Villscheider" has Ladin etymological roots and means "mowing the field with a scythe". The company is located in the province of Bressanone, behind the moraine hills, in the Isarco Valley, where the vines grow on steep slopes facing south and east at an altitude of 700 m. The stony soil is poor in limestone, thin and permeable and produces wines with very interesting characteristics.

The grapes grow at an altitude of 700 meters above sea level and are harvested in the second half of October. The vinification takes place in steel, and then continues with ageing of 5 months.

In the glass, the wine appears of an intense pink colour. On the nose, there are hints of raspberries and ripe strawberries. The sip is dry and has a pleasant acidity, it is mineral and fruity.

Excellent as an aperitif, it goes very well with grilled meats, summer rice and pasta salads, and fresh to semi-aged cheeses.
