Terre Siciliane IGP Rosato Passivento 2021 Barone Montalto

The Sicilian Passivento rosé wine is produced by the Sicilian Barone Montalto winery, founded in 2000, which is based in Santa Ninfa, in the province of Trapani. The estate manages about 400 hectares of vineyards, partly owned and partly by contributors, located in the Bèlice valley, in the Valley of the Temples and in Noto, in the south-eastern part of Sicily.

It is made with Nero d'Avola grapes harvested in a late period, with partial drying of the bunches in the vineyard, which is then completed in a thermo-regulated and ventilated loft with a dehydration of the berries. Fermentation takes place in steel, followed by ageing in bottle.

With a strong pink colour, it gives the nose aromas of cherry with herbaceous notes. The sip is fresh, with a clean finish.

Ideal as an aperitif, it goes well with beef carpaccio, pasta salads and savoury first courses.
