Val Delle Rose Cobalto 2020 750ml

Val delle Rose Cobalto emerges from the untamed Tuscan coast of Maremma, where the esteemed Cecchi family passionately tends to this remarkable winery. The vineyards at 150 meters boast sandstone soil rich in decomposing rock, yielding 7 tonnes per hectare with a density of 5500 vines per hectare. Employing guyot trellising, the wine, which is 100% Vermentino, undergoes a unique fermentation process—50% in oak barrels, 34% in amphora, and 16% in stainless steel tanks. After 10 months on the lees in these vessels, it rests in the bottle for an additional 6 months. The result is an intense yellow-hued wine that harmonizes fruity notes from steel fermentation with the salinity and minerality of amphora fermentation. Toasty aromas from oak fermentation add depth. Herbal notes are evident, and on the palate, the wine is broad and soft, thanks to partial oak aging, balanced by amphora-derived minerality and acidity. Ideal for pairing with seafood and crustaceans.
