Leonia Rosé

The Pinot nero grapes, harvested by hand, were taken to the cellar in 15 kg crates during the cooler hours of the day. They were gently pressed, enabling the extraction of the clear must with a mild concentration of anthocyanins. It was then clarified at a cold temperature for 12 hours, allowing for the production of a beautifully clear wine with the harmonious quality typical of our Leoniarosé. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a constant, controlled temperature, with some of the wine fermenting in wood containers. In March, the various cuvées were assembled, followed by ‘tirage’ (where the liqueur de tirage was added) with subsequent ageing on the lees for 36 months. Finally, remuage and dégorgement took place. Before being released onto the market, Leonia rosé spent a few extra months ageing in the bottle. This gives the wine a more harmonious quality and sensory balance.
