Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo Superiore 'Fossimatto' Fontefico 2024

Fontefico's Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo Superiore 'Fossimatto' is a rosé wine made exclusively from Montepulciano grapes. In the cellar, a brief maceration on the skins gives it its characteristic colour. In Fontefico's version, fermentation takes place in steel to preserve the purity of the aroma. The short period of ageing on the lees amplifies the roundness and softness of the wine. The nose reveals hints of crisp fruit, with a slight bitter note of blood orange peel. The palate is full-bodied, with delicate tannins and a pleasant salty note, derived from the proximity to the sea. Perfect with a sauce of musky octopus

Taste

When to open
To enjoy an artisanal wine at its best, we recommend you to let it 'breathe' at least 15-30 minutes before serving
When to drink
Wine good to drink now, but that can have a beautiful evolution after resting for a while in your cellar
Glass
