Rosato Le Due Arbie
IGT Toscana 2016
Not only a wine: it’s the breeze of a summer’s night, the freshness that rises up from the land and puts a shiver into the air. Producing it requires passion and demands knowledge. Made entirely from Sangiovese grapes, this rosé surprises with its delightful color and balanced nuances of grapefruit and white peach. Its silky refinement makes this wine the perfect accompaniment at lunch and dinner. Simple yet important, it enhances both spicy food and healthy Mediterranean dishes.

Winemaking Process
Traditional white vinification following a cold process. The grapes are gently pressed while separating the stalks from the must, immediately cooled to 5°C and then pressed again. The soft pressing cycle, which takes about 50 minutes, ensures that only the aromatic first-pressing must is extracted. The must is cooled to 5°C and left to remove itself from the lees for 2 days. As the temperature rises naturally (on the third or fourth day), the must is injected with a native pied de cuve. The slow and constant fermentation lasts for about 35 days at 17-18°C. Refinement in steel vats for 3 months.
