TASTING NOTES
Pale pink in colour, Almarosa opens with delicate aromas of wild strawberries and small red berries, revealing a fresh and fragrant profile. On the palate, freshness combines with a pleasant savoury character, creating a smooth, inviting wine that echoes the fruity notes perceived on the nose.
ORIGIN AND TYPE OF TERRAIN
The Syrah grapes come from the Terre dei Ghelfi vineyards, situated at the foot of the hill of Castagneto Carducci, 35 metres above sea level. The vines, approximately twenty years old and trained using a spur-pruned cordon system, grow in sandy and alluvial soils of ancient marine origin, with clay and iron-rich red sand.
PAIRINGS
Ideal as an aperitif, Almarosa pairs beautifully with seafood starters, fish carpaccio, amberjack tartare and crustaceans. Its freshness and savoury character complement spaghetti with clams, seafood risotto and grilled fish. Also try it with sushi and sashimi, summer salads, grilled vegetables and mild fresh cheeses.
WINEMAKING
The Syrah grapes are hand-picked into small crates and gently pressed. The must is clarified by static settling at 6–8 °C, then fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16 °C, using selected yeasts. Malolactic fermentation is not carried out.
AGING
The wine continues to mature sur lies for four months in the same French oak tonneaux. This maturation phase further enhances structure and roundness, as contact with the yeasts adds volume and a soft mouthfeel. The subtle oak influence imparts refined vanilla notes, contributing to the overall elegance and aromatic finesse of the wine.
BOTTLING
Almarosa is bottled with a Stelvin screw cap, chosen for its high level of protection against oxygen. This closure helps preserve the freshness and intensity of the aromas, safeguarding the wine’s delicate, fruity character.
