Igt Rosato di Toscana
Indicazione Geografica Tipica
Quercia al Poggio Rosato di Toscana is produced in limited quantities from a selection of Sangiovese and Ciliegiolo bunches during the green harvest at the end of August. Once at the winery, the grapes are placed in a chilled tank, from which only the free-run juice is immediately drawn off by saignée. Fermented at 13°C, this rosé shows medium body, lively freshness, and the distinctive aromatics of the grapes it comes from.
Bottled in the first months of the year following the harvest, it pairs beautifully with cured meats and cheeses, white and vegetarian ragù, and fish dishes.
