SEASON 2024

As it happens now, year after year since 2020, the winter of 2024 has been characterized by mild temperatures. The beginning of the sprouting has occurred regularly in line with seasonal rhythms, with abundant rains compared to previous years. The summer period has given us a favorable climate, with good water presence thanks to the unusual rainfall of the months of July and August. This presence of rain also characterized the harvest phase, certainly imprinting unique characteristics to the vintage, such as the persistence of the sensation of acidity.

HARVEST

10th SEPTEMBER TO 15th SEPTEMBER

VINIFICATION

The selected grapes, once in the winery, are pressed and de-stemmed and placed directly in the tank. Here begins the ancient process of "levata di cappello" where the skins, in contact with the must, rise creating a surface layer of pomace, giving the wine its typical coral pink colour. The limpid is then separated and alcoholic fermentation is carried out at a controlled temperature using selected yeasts.The wine, once obtained, is clarified with a static decantation. Subsequently the Chiaretto ages for a short time in the bottle.

SENSORY ANALYSIS

Coral pink color with violet highlights. On the nose it expresses hints of Saturn peach and citrus with a clear note of peach blossom. On the palate there is an excellent balance between minerality and sapidity.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Excellent as a combination for the entire Mediterranean cuisine, from lake fish to fried seafood. Also recommended as an aperitif on warm summer evenings.
