Production of Rosato Terre d'Abruzzo IGT – Collezione Il Mio The grapes for Rosato Terre d'Abruzzo IGT 1.0 l – Collezione Il Mio come from selected sites in Abruzzo, not far from the Adriatic Sea. Here, cool winds from the sea meet the warmth of the hinterland. These contrasts encourage aromatic grapes with fine acidity. The soils range from sandy, pebbly sections to calcareous and clayey structures. Montepulciano finds ideal conditions here for expressive rosé wines. Harvesting is selective so that only ripe and aromatic grapes make their way into the cellar. The timing of the harvest is particularly important to preserve freshness, fruit, and the desired color intensity. The grapes are quickly brought to the press, where gentle pressing takes place. The brief contact with the berry skins gives the must its typical pinkish hue without making the wine seem heavy. Maturation in stainless steel preserves the pure fruit of the Montepulciano. Temperature-controlled fermentation keeps the aromas of raspberry, blackberry, rhubarb, and watermelon especially clear. The cellar deliberately forgoes wood so that nothing overshadows the lively freshness and precision of the fruit profile. After fermentation, the wine matures for some time on the fine lees, which lends it a smooth texture and additional creaminess. The style of Collezione Il Mio places value on authenticity and drinking pleasure. The winemaker emphasizes freshness, clarity, and varietal typicity rather than striving for opulent weight. The result is a rosato that reflects Abruzzo in an unadulterated way: Mediterranean lightness, intense fruit, clear structure, and an inviting profile that wins you over from the first glass. The wine is approachable at any time, yet remains characterful and distinctive.
