OENOLOGICAL INFORMATION: Method and duration of pre-fermentation maceration: The Aglianico grapes, after destemming and pressing, remain in contact with the must for about 2/3 hours, so that the maceration extracts the right amount of color and aromas from the skins, followed by a rapid separation of the must from the skins and a soft pressing of the marc. Fermentation tank material: 316 stainless steel; Fermentation temperatures: from 12°-15°C; Fermentation duration: 20 days.

ORGANOLEPTIC PROFILE : Our Ophelia is born from the desire to experiment. The great potential of Aglianico grapes, renowned for their hardness, angularity, large quantities of sugar and high alcohol potential. From their delicate processing comes our rosé, fragrant, enveloping, gentle, but at the same time full-bodied, structured and with a strong impact, which captivates with its hints of peach and wild rose, with a full, warm and persistent taste.
