Sommelier's Notes

Rosarubra is a biological and biodynamics winery situated in a small town called Pietranico in the province of Pescara which is roughly 390 meters above sea level. The approximately 30ha represent a unique, pleasant and unspoilt place where biological and biodynamic agricolture blends with its own essence.

The company, biologically certified in 2003, adopts a biodynamic agricultural system improving the soil fertility and food product quality.

You can come across the highest number of “palmenti” dug in the rocks in the territory around Pietranico. These tubs, dating back to the middle ages were real squashing tools used especially for this particular procedure since ancient times.

An oasis of 30 hectares characterised by a territory with a splendid terroir, where the same environment is a nest created by the nature, that protects of it and it protects the biodiversity.

Cultivated lands are joined by forests of oak and in some cases they are surrounded by them. The forest, much more than the vineyards themselves, overlooks and gives character to the landscape.

Indeed the forest is natural and very little has changed. Much has been generously left though for the pleasure of respectful fruition and to the lives of many wild animals.

The wine is made from a manual selection of the grapes harvested slightly ripening from a thirty years old vineyard very well exposed.

The terroir granting these grapes thermal excursions that together with the excellent “grassing techniques” usually used by us, give to this wine an abundance of floral scents as well as a strong reminder of the fruit.

This wine is made from a maceration with the skins for a period of 15 days during which were made 3 daily pumping.

The wine was then racked into barrels wood and allowed to stand until the end of malolactic fermentation.
