The Rosa Caolino consists mainly of Corinto Nero and a small portion of other autochthonous Sicilian grapes. The vineyards are located in the Lipari area at an altitude of about 350 meters on mineral-rich volcanic sand. Direct pressing of the grapes in a pneumatic press. Fermentation in stainless steel followed by bâtonnage for six months.
Color
Sparkling pomegranate red
Nose
The Rosa Caolino smells directly wonderful of ripe strawberry, cream cherry candy and currants. The fruit is intense and loud. Behind it, there is a little cocoa and lightly roasted coffee. This seems paradoxical, but turns out to be incredibly exciting. With time in the glass and rising temperature, the bouquet fully unfolds. Now rooibos, orange peel and orange blossom can be discovered. Rhubarb compote and discreetly ethereal hints counteract this with an acid kick and cooling.
Palate
At the palate it shows itself more luxuriantly and with pressure. The infantile fruit of the nose he puts down as far as possible. Taut and cool, but with decent substance in the base. The red fruitiness has an animating effect and is small-berried and unripe in a positive sense. Equipped with an astonishing amount of freshness, it leads into an intense fruit tea note in the finish.
