Calalenta Merlot Rosato – Abruzzo, Italy

Description

The Calalenta Merlot Rosato

From the heart of Italy, more precisely from the province of Chieti in the picturesque Abruzzo region east of Rome, comes the noble Calalenta Merlot Rosato, a testament to the rich winemaking tradition that dates back to the 14th century. Even then, the wines from this region gained high esteem, a tradition that today is passionately continued by Farnese Vini. The winery focuses on cultivating both local and international grape varieties, with the Calalenta Merlot Rosato standing as a prime example of the masterful processing of the Merlot grape.

With its ethereal coloration, reminiscent of the delicate pink of onion skins, and its distinctly fruity and gentle fragrance, evoking strawberries, watermelon, and pink grapefruit, this rosé wine embodies the lightness and freshness of the Italian coast. Floral nuances of roses and broom complement the bouquet and lead to a palate experience characterized by youthful acidity and lively red berry flavors.

Suitable Foods

Thanks to its refreshing lightness, the Calalenta Merlot Rosato is the ideal companion for light summer cuisine. At a serving temperature of 10-12 °C, it unfolds its full splendor with appetizers like grilled vegetables, fine pasta dishes, or aromatic soups, making it the perfect wine for social gatherings and summery moments of enjoyment.
