Tuscan rosé IGT Santo Stefano 2022

The Rosato Santo Stefano, obtained from the estate's lands, has a clear, powerful and intensely cherry color thanks to the bloodletting winemaking technique. This methodology gives the wine unique characteristics that distinguish it from classic rosés, highlighting a more pronounced structure and alcohol content, reaching 13%.

The idea of ​​creating a rosé was born from the desire to satisfy the farm's customers during the summer months, offering a fresh and thirst-quenching wine, but at the same time robust from an alcoholic point of view. This choice materializes in the differentiation compared to Bianco Toscano IGT, highlighting a higher alcohol content and greater body.

The overall structure, the well-defined body and the good level of acidity are due to Sangiovese, the grape variety that we also use for our Chianti Classico. After the traditional pressing, the Sangiovese juice is separated from the skins using the bloodletting technique, and subsequently ferments completely in steel vats. The process concludes with bottling in March, making the Rosé available for sale in early summer.
