Caldora Colle dei Venti Rosé 2022

Caldora Colle dei Venti Rosé is a beautifully refined rosé crafted from 100% Merlot grapes grown at the foot of the Maiella mountain massif in Abruzzo, Italy. This Provence-style rosé features a delicate pale pink hue and exudes fresh aromas of strawberry, watermelon, and rose petals, complemented by a subtle minerality. On the palate, it is vibrant and refreshing, with a lively acidity perfectly balanced with juicy fruit notes. A light aging on lees adds complexity, while the long and elegant finish makes this rosé a standout choice for warm-weather sipping.
