ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
No-nonsense, easy drinking and wonderful value for money, the Sollazzo capsule of wines show great typicity. Using a great blend of indigenous and classic varietals, Sollazzo is a range of excellent value-for-money wines which are produced for us in a state-of-the-art winery in the heart of Emilia-Romagna. Managed sustainably, along with Equalitas, ISO 50001, ETRS certifications, the aim is to ‘produce more, by doing less’ through water resource management, reducing carbon emissions and maintaining biodiversity in the vineyard to create balanced wines. These wines are superb examples of modern winemaking at its very best and come highly recommended!

THE VINTAGE:
2022 was a very warm vintage in Romagna, the summer was dry which brought about a little vine stress and concentrated the juice in the fruit. However, good diurnal temperature differences helped retain aromas and acidity in the fruit, resulting in good balance in the wine. The yields were just below average, but the vineyards were in a healthy and sanitary condition at harvest.

ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
The grapes are predominantly sourced from the rich and fertile region of Emilia Romagna, one of Italy’s most prolific wine regions, located between Tuscany to the south and Lombardy and Veneto to the north. The region’s geographical diversity plays a significant part in creating the different terroirs found in the region. The River Po links the rolling hills and the Apennine peaks to the west of the region, flowing through the low lying plains, to the vineyards influenced by the coastal breezes of the Adriatic Sea to the east. Each terroir imparts its own characteristic to the resulting blend.

THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
The grapes underwent brief skin contact prior to being pressed. The juice was clarified and fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks at 18 to 19°C with selected yeasts. The wine was made in an unoaked style, in order to retain the fresh and fruity characteristics of this blend.

OUR TASTING NOTES:
Pale coral in colour, this refreshing rosé, offers notes of wild cherry, orange peel and a touch of white blossom through to a vibrant, fruity palate with delicate salinity on the finish.

GRAPE VARIETY:
Sangiovese 90%, Other Varieties 10%.
