The Costaripa RosaMara appears a light pink, like a rose which has just blossomed, almost pearl,
characteristic of unconditional respect of the free-run must during the slow draining process. The nose is inviting, slightly spicy and subtle in its fresh elegance. Fruity notes of vineyard peaches, small red fruits and black pepper followed by light notes of hawthorn, grapefruit and pomegranate. The palate reveals a silky texture, harmonious, ample, rich in excellent persistence and sapidity. Long finale with very slight aftertaste of bitter almonds.
Ideal as an aperitif it also enhances raw white fish, amberjack, snapper, scallops scalded on the bridge, peppered mussels and all types of Mediterranean salads.
A blend of 50% Groppello Gentile, 30% Marzemino, 10% Sangiovese and 10% Barbera. 50% of the must ferments and refines in small old 228-litre white oak barrels for about 6 months.
Falstaff Review:
Bright pale pink color, shiny. Very inviting on the nose, slightly buttery and creamy notes, white roses, cold smoke. On the palate, with slightly noticeable tannins, good drive and a delicately bitter undertone, but with good freshness, finishes on creamy notes.
