El sorbo muestra frescura y mineralidad, unidos a una textura rica en sabor y materia.
The Rosato from the Calabretta winery is a delicate, fresh, and fruity expression, vinified in pink and produced in Sicily in the municipality of Randazzo, on the northern slope of Mount Etna. This label is made from pure Nerello Mascalese grapes from ungrafted vines in the Calderara district. The vines, relatively young at about 5 years of average age, are cultivated at high altitudes using the low bush method on volcanic soils characterized by sandy soils mixed with stones and pebbles. The winery is a family-run business, owning about 10 hectares of vineyards, managed by father and son with great care and attention to the territory according to traditional methods and following the principles of organic farming.
The Rosato di Calabretta is produced with carefully selected grapes that are hand-harvested at their perfect ripeness. The bunches, upon reaching the winery, are destemmed and subjected to the "pista e mutta", as it is called in the local dialect, meaning a quick pressing and immediate transfer of the must into stainless steel containers without allowing prolonged contact with the skins.stainless steel without allowing prolonged contact with the skins.
