Brettos

Type : Rosé, Dry, Regional Wine of Drama.

Vintage: 2009

Varieties : Tempranillo

Production: 20.000 Bottles

Vinification: The perfect ripening of the grapes and the carefully selected date of harvest, which is practicated during the night, contribute to the preservation of varietal aromatic and phenolic potential. Hand picking of grapes is followed by two tables of selection, the destemming and light crushing of the baies. Right determing of the durations of pre- and post-fermentation macerations, allows extracting the aromatic and phenolic potential, before its transfer by gravity to oak barrels. There, following malolactic fermentation, it is left to age for 14 months with further 10 months in the bottle

Wine making : This wine is the result of blending two methods of rose winemaking: skin–contact at low temperature and longtime pressing, and/or by "saignée" from a tank with tempranillo grapes in the phase of pre-fermentation maceration. This juice is fermented in inox tanks where the wine is kept for four months with its lees.

Organoleptic Description: This intensively rose wine is expressed with elegant aromas of strawberry and rushberry fruit on a fond of minerality. In the mouth, the alcohol is nice balanced from the acidity, giving a feeling of sweetness and a long finish with a touch of ripe red fruit on the palate.

Served at : 8 – 10 0 C

Accompanies : Almost everything from the mediterranean cuisine: pasta, pizza, fish soups or roasted fish, mushrooms and white meat. Also good as an aperitif.
