Masseria Altemura Zinzula ■ WINE-QUADRAT

WINERY MASSERIA ALTEMURA

Masseria Altemura is located in the heart of Salento, halfway between the Ionian and Adriatic seas. The unique characteristics of the terroir are due to the exceptional light, the year-round fresh breezes from both seas and a soil where white limestone and the red clay of Salento predominate. The winery extends within the production area of Primitivo di Manduria DOC in a rural area called "Agro di Torre Santa Susanna". In a single place it combines an ancient "masseria", an estate, dating back to the 16th century, a winery designed according to bioarchitectural principles and the wonderful vineyards in the surrounding area. The estate extends over 300 hectares, of which soon 150 hectares will be planted with vines and 40 hectares with olive trees.

Tasting note

Wide bouquet of elegant dog rose, accompanied by pleasant hints of Amarena cherry and spices reminiscent of pink pepper and ginger, with a slight touch of turmeric. The palate is balanced and of intense freshness in a lean body, carried by a nice acidity and with a tense, vibrant
spiciness.

COMPOSITION OF THIS ROSÉ:

Negromaro

Rosé wine

Rosé wine (short: rosé) is a type of wine that gets its characteristic pink color from the contact of the red grape skins with the grape must during fermentation. Unlike red wines, however, the skins are left in contact with the must for only a limited time, giving rosé wine its light to intense pink color.

Rosé wine can be produced in several ways. The most common methods are direct pressing and the saignée method. In the direct pressing method, the grapes are lightly pressed to extract the juice without prolonged maceration with the skins. In the saignée method, part of the must is extracted from already vinified red wines and fermented separately as rosé wine.

Rosé wine is often served well chilled and is excellent as a summer wine or as an accompaniment to lighter dishes such as salads, seafood, grilled vegetables or light pasta dishes. Its vibrant color and pleasant taste make rosé wine a popular choice for connoisseurs looking for a fresh and fruity wine.
