Editors notes
Made by legendary winemaker Dennis Verdecchia, this “Provencal style” rosé has a very pale powder pink color. Fresh and soft aromas of strawberry, watermelon and pink grapefruit accompanied by pleasant floral notes of rose petals and broom. It stands out for its freshness and refined minerality.
the grapes were harvested manually during the night to preserve their aromas and freshness. The grapes undergo a soft crushing-destemming, then the must is fermented in large steel tanks for 18/22 days at a low temperature (10/12 ° C) to enhance the aromas. After a light and brief aging on the lees in steel tanks for 30/35 days, the wine is delicately clarified, filtered and ready to be bottled.

Luca Maroni
99"Fresh and flinty aromas of strawberry, fresh cut watermelon and rose petals on the nose with notes of minerality on the palate. The wine has a refreshing acidity that is in harmony with the grout and well rounded with good length. Its long and intense finish is the signature of a rose with incomparable elegance."

Locations
Italy
Italy has some of the oldest wine production methods in the world and almost every part of the country is planted under vine. From the Alps in the north to the very southernmost parts of Sicily where Africa is almost in sight, wine is successfully cultivated. In addition to the latitude covered, Italy's many mountains and hills provide a plethora of altitudes for grape growing in various soils and micro-climates. The extensive coastlines along the peninsula that is Italy provide maritime climates for the coastal wine-growing areas. Over 350 grape varieties are 'authorised' in Italy, though up to 550 varieties are thought to be grown.
The classification system of Italian wines has four classes, with the intention of defining a wine's origin a quality. Two of these classes are table wines, whilst DOC and DOCG fall under the EU quality wine produced in a specific region category. Vino da Tavola (VDT) means that the wine comes from Italy. Most of these wines are generally basic table wines that are consumed domestically. Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT) denotes a more specific region within Italy, and the resultant will be of higher quality than simple table wines, but won't conform to the rules required for higher certification. Both Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) and Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) are regionally more specific than IGT, and have stricter rules regarding the grape varieties grown, yields per hectare, minimum alcohol levels and so on. The major difference between DOC and DOCG is that the latter has to undergo a blind-tasting session to ensure the highest quality is achieved. Italy has 32 DOCG appelations, 311 DOC appelations and 120 IGT zones.
Key regions include Piedmont, Tuscany, Abruzzo, Veneto, Sicily and Sardinia. Common white varieties grown are Pinot Grigio, Arneis, Vermentino, Verdicchio, Fiano and Moscato. The red varieties grown the most are Sangiovese, Barbera, Dolcetto, Nebbiolo, Montepulciano, Primitivo, Nero d'Avola and Corvina.
Abruzzo
Abruzzo is a historic wine region located on the east coast of central Italy that traces its viticultural roots back to the sixth century B.C. when the Etruscans first introduced wine production to the area. However, the region experienced a decline in winemaking for many centuries until around 50 years ago when there was a concerted effort to revive viticulture in this stunning region, which is surrounded by mountains and is home to many national parks and forests.
Although the low hills of Teramo are considered to have the most favorable grape growing conditions, the entire Abruzzo region is blessed with ideal conditions for viticulture. The unique soil structure, rich in various minerals, combined with bountiful sunshine, moderate rainfall, and cool nighttime temperatures, results in grapes bursting with full, rich flavors.
The region is renowned for producing three DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) wines, including Contro Guerra, Trebbiano d'Abruzzo, and Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, as well as one DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita), Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane, which is considered the pinnacle of quality in the region. The primary grape varieties grown in Abruzzo are the red Montepulciano and white Trebbiano.
Visitors to Abruzzo can indulge in a variety of wine experiences, from tours of vineyards and cellars to tastings of the region's delicious wines. The region is also known for its stunning landscapes, historic towns, and ancient ruins, making it an ideal destination for wine enthusiasts and history buffs alike. With its rich viticultural history, ideal growing conditions, and exceptional wines, Abruzzo is an undiscovered gem waiting to be explored.
