## Food pairing

This delicate Sangiovese rosé pairs beautifully with light, high-acid dishes. Its crisp acidity cuts through the oiliness of seafood and complements fresh cheeses, while its subtle red fruit notes harmonize with summer salads and cured meats without overpowering them.

## Wine making process

The Sangiovese grapes are harvested early to preserve vibrant acidity. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes undergo extremely gentle pressing with minimal skin contact to extract only a delicate pink hue. The juice is vinified at low temperatures in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, mimicking white winemaking techniques to preserve fresh primary fruit aromas and crispness. The wine is aged briefly on its fine lees before bottling to add subtle texture.
