2021 Litrozzo Rosato 1L

A whole litre of joy. The 2021 is a deeper shade of pink than previous vintages, it lures you in nose-first with lifted aromas of rose and minerals. In the mouth, a tart, sour quality to the fruit that's insanely refreshing. A short, gentle maceration of Aleatico, Sangiovese, Merlot and Procanico pressed off to vat for a brief élevage.

Despite the Romans being credited as the ancient leaders in wine consumption, the Italian region of Lazio in which Rome lies doesn't conjure a clear image of vineyards and bottles in the modern eye. Enter Gianmarco Antonuzzi and Clementine Bouveron. He, a Lazio native and she, his French vigneronne wife. Clementine and Gianmarco are a power couple in Italy’s natural wine community. She is a fiercely intelligent scientist and takes care of the vines by hand with practices that incorporate biodynamics but are finely attuned for their own and overall plant diversity. Gianmarco is a fiery cellar master with a deeply cynical and black hued sense of humour,shined by seasons abroad in some of the world's most highly regarded wineries. The pair have worked tirelessly on their stunning fourteen hectares of vines, olive groves and chestnut trees in Gradoli, a small village between Pisa and Rome.
