The Story
Rosé del Borro is vinified by cold pressing Sangiovese grapes which are hand-harvested once they have reached optimal maturity and kept refrigerated overnight at 5-10° C. The day after the grapes are destemmed and pressed after a short maceration period in contact with the skins. The resulting must is then decanted into stainless-steel tanks where the wine is clarified in order to remove all the sediments and then fermented at controlled temperature of 15-17° C. After the fermentation the wine is kept on yeast lees for about 60 days and bottled the- reafter.
