Vineyard Notes: The Nebbiolo and Vespolina grapes grow in the Ormeggio, Castagnola, and Belvedere vineyards in Lessona in the Orolungo subregion. They are also grown in the 45 to 90-year-old Madonna degli Angeli Vineyard in Brusnengo in the Forte subregion (it is included in the Bramaterra D.O.C). The Lessona vineyards comprise of marine sands from the Pliocene period on igneous rock, mixed with more recent glacial sediment. The soil is acidic, rich in minerals and trace elements including iron, manganese, aluminum and zinc. Soils in the Madonna degli Angeli Vineyard are composed of pebbles on a base of igneous rock which is close to the surface and veined with china clay.

Winemaking Notes: The grapes are sorted while on the conveyor belt, then destemmed, gently pressed, and fed by gravity into the fermentation tank. Skin maceration lasts for 12 hours before fermentation starts in stainless steel vats. The wine remains in contact with the lees for four months. It does not undergo malolactic fermentation or see oak.

Tasting Notes: Rosa del Rosa Rosato is Mineral, fresh, and savory. A beautiful salmon color, the wine exhibits scents of rose petal and strawberry. Cantaloupe and ripe peach flavors evolve into a vivid, pink grapefruit-like citrus acidity on the midpalate. The finish is long and dry. Ripe strawberry flavors are complemented by minerality and a little pepper.
