2024 'Luccio' Sangiovese Rosé

Good winter rain allowed soil profiles to be full, giving the vines a great start to the growing season. A remarkably cool summer followed, providing perfect conditions for healthy balanced vines. The long ripening period produced fruit with a perfect balance of good colour, high natural acidity, and concentrated flavours. Sangiovese was our first ‘alternative” variety planted on the estate and is extremely well suited to Rosé with naturally high acid and bright red fruits. Pressed off skins immediately to keep colour light, fermented in stainless steel.

New season watermelon with a touch of green apple skin feeding through to cranberries with a refreshing acid line providing length around some savoury Sangiovese structure. Delicious and moreish.

Cherry at the forefront, supported by some cranberry and musk lolly.
