Vinification and Aging

• Fermentation: The grapes are gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve the natural fruit character and freshness. The fermentation process is carried out with indigenous yeasts to ensure a wine that is true to its terroir.
• Aging: After fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees in stainless steel for several months, contributing to its creamy texture and complexity. This method allows the wine to develop deeper flavors while maintaining its fresh, crisp profile.
• Bottling: The wine is bottled with minimal intervention, unfiltered, to retain its pure expression and avoid altering its natural character.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: A pale, onion-skin pink color, indicative of a rosé with some age, showcasing the wine's delicate nature.
• Aroma: The nose is expressive, with fresh aromas of wild strawberries, red currants, and a touch of citrus zest. Subtle floral notes of rose petals and a hint of almond add complexity.
• Palate: On the palate, "Le Trame" is vibrant and refreshing, with crisp acidity balancing the soft fruit character. The wine shows flavors of ripe red berries, citrus, and a touch of herbal undertones. The mid-palate is round and smooth, with a delicate minerality that adds depth to the flavor profile.
• Finish: The finish is clean and persistent, with lingering hints of fruit and a touch of bitterness that adds a layer of complexity.

Food Pairing

"Le Trame" is a versatile food wine that pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes. It complements light antipasti, grilled vegetables, seafood, and fresh salads.

Serving Recommendations

• Serving Temperature: Best served at 12–14°C (54–57°F) to highlight its crispness and refreshing character.

Aging Potential

Podere le Boncie "Le Trame" Rosato di Toscana 2014 has a moderate aging potential. While it is best enjoyed within a few years of release, it can age gracefully for up to 5 years, during which time it will develop greater complexity and softness in its texture. As it evolves, the fruit character may become more subdued, and the wine will show additional nuances of earthiness and minerality.
