'Testarossa' Rosato Pasetti 2024

The Testarossa Rosé is a daily wine joyful and extremely versatile on the everyday table. A jovial liquid, which makes the crunchiness of fruit and ease of drinking its strong points, the Testarossa Rosé by Pasetti once again testifies to the vocation of Montepulciano when vinified in pink. The family estate, which today consists of about 70 hectares of vineyards, extends mostly in the heart of the Gran Sasso National Park, where among thermal excursions, native grape varieties such as Montepulciano, Pecorino, Passerina, and Trebbiano find the ideal conditions to express themselves at their best. Awards and recognitions are the obvious consequence of serious and constant work, which has been ongoing for more generations.

The Testarossa Rosé comes from pure Montepulciano grapes, sourced from vineyards located at about 400 meters above sea level and extending at the foot of the Gran Sasso massif. The vines, all very young, are about 10 years old. After harvesting the bunches and a careful selection, the grapes are taken to the winery for destemming and the subsequent cryomaceration that lasts about 6 hours.Fermentation takes place in steel containers and after a brief stop in the same container, the liquid is bottled and put on the market by February following the harvest.

The Testarossa Rosé presents itself in the glass with a bright and extremely lively cerasuolo hue. The nose is immediately very fresh and spring-like, and reveals notes of cherry and berries, followed by a refreshing balsamic vein. The tasting reveals a lean and juicy liquid, driven by freshness and sapidity that constantly enliven the sip. Delicate floral hints of violet and dog rose peek through after swallowing. A convivial bottle, which for quality-price has the right to more than one place in the cellar!
