Rosato, a charming expression of the region's terroir, intertwines Montepulciano and Aglianico, with 70-80% and 10-20% respectively, complemented by a touch of other authorized nonaromatic red varieties. This rosé unveils a delicate hue that hints at the vibrant red fruit flavors within. It is a sip of summer, capturing the essence of sun-soaked vineyards.
