What kind of wine it isCosta Toscana Rosé Tenuta Le Colonne is a rosé wine made from Merlot and Syrah grapes grown in the south of Tuscany, in the Bolgheri area. The red grapes are vinified as a white wine with a cold process, and fermentation takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, which creates a clean and straightforward profile. The palate is fresh and easygoing, with a mineral touch and a slightly savory finish, offering great versatility at the table.Where it comes fromThe grapes come from vineyards located in Bolgheri, in southern Tuscany, in a coastal setting characterized by a mild and breezy climate. The vines are planted on southwest-facing slopes, allowing for regular ripening and excellent aromatic definition. The soils are predominantly sandy, which is reflected in a linear sip and balanced minerality.How it is producedProduction involves white vinification of red grapes using a cold process, followed by gentle pressing to extract the most delicate must. After pressing, alcoholic fermentation begins in stainless steel for about twelve days at a controlled temperature of 18°C, preserving the wine’s freshness and clarity. Harvest takes place around the end of August; once fermentation is complete, the wine is aged for about three months in stainless steel, without any time in wood, keeping it smooth and precise.Tasting notesIn the glass, it displays a pale and bright pink color, in line with the delicate winemaking.
