  • Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at a temperature of around 18°C for 8-10 days.
  • A perfect partner for a fresh tomato flavoured Mediterranean fish soup, or with a selection of cold-cuts.

Bright pink. Perfumed, even complex aromas and flavors of red berries, sage, tea leaf and violet, plus a complicating note of pomegranate. Fresh and juicy, with a slightly saline twinge on the long back end. Given that Albiola has always been a very easygoing Rosato best drunk within the year of its release, this 2018 version is surprisingly complex and rich. Well done.” – Ian D’Agata, Vinous, May 2019

A very precise, seamless Cerasuolo with no hard edges and a sneaky concentration.” – Ian D’Agata, Vinous, May 2019
