Caruso Sangiovese Rose

In its food-friendly, easy to drink style, Sangiovese Rosé pairs well with many dishes from fresh summer salads to rich salmon or creamy pasta with prosciutto and asparagus.

The 2024 harvest was characterised by significant rainfall at the start of the season followed by little to no rainfall from October to April and warm summer temperatures. White and red cultivars ripened earlier and simultaneously. The dry conditions and the picking of the grapes at their ideal ripening stage contributed to great primary aromas and development of berries to produce outstanding quality.

Grapes were harvested at two different ripeness levels and fermented with two different yeast strains. Berries were whole bunch pressed and a long and delicate press cycle was chosen to allow for slow extraction of the colour and juice. Fermentation took place in neutral oak for aromatic complexity and colour stabilisation.
