South by South West Rosso Bianco

This unique Sangiovese blend showcases a meticulous winemaking process that highlights finesse and vibrancy. The grapes were crushed, destemmed, and cold-soaked in tanks to capture and stabilize a luminous colour early in fermentation. Gentle twice-daily pump-overs ensured a delicate extraction, with the fruit pressed after just eight days on skins to maintain a lighter profile. During malolactic fermentation and maturation, a thoughtful addition of tank-fermented Chenin Blanc (7%), Muscat (7%), and a touch of Pinot Grigio (0.5%) elevated the aromatic intensity, freshness, and vitality of the wine. The result is a bright, intriguing wine that balances drinkability with aromatic allure, slight savouriness, and velvety tannins—perfect for enjoying chilled.

In the glass, it radiates a vibrant, translucent crimson hue, beautifully framed by the clarity of its flint bottle. The nose enchants with lifted aromas of cherry and red berries, delicately spiced with a hint of white pepper. On the palate, the wine leans toward a savoury elegance, with silky yet structured tannins and a zesty lift from the Chenin Blanc. This refreshingly quaffable red is both distinctive and versatile, offering a thirst-quenching experience that’s as lively as it is sophisticated.
