Rosé

This second vintage of Aurea (this new wine launched with the 2017 vintage), a blend of oak-aged Syrah and Vermentino grown in the coastal Maremma and vinified at the futuristic Tenuta Ammiraglia, has a delicate herbal nose with fresh, saline citrus and stone fruit notes. Its pale copper hue belies its boldness on the palate, courtesy of the Syrah which has been vinified as a white wine. Salty coastal herbs mingle with crisp citrus, fleshy black cherry and blackberry flavours, a hint of luscious stone fruits, and some creamy, spicy oak notes. It's all bound together with a fine line of acidity and some textural grip from the wood. Fermented and matured on its lees in 600L French oak barrels (20% new) for eight months, then a small amount of last year's Syrah - vinified as a white wine and aged in barriques for 20 months - is added.
