Like the Greek goddess Aurora, the morning sunrise of Chianti is bathed in rosy pink light. Our Rosato carries forth those hues and brings with it the warmth of the Tuscan sun.

In production since 2007, the Fietri Rosato, is drawn exclusively from the Sangiovese vines rooted in our high Linari vineyard with its rich ancient Skeleton Galestro soil from which the vines draw abundant mineral salts giving great sapidity to the wine. The sloped exposure to the sun and the unique climate of Fietri guarantee bright light during the day and refreshing dew at night generating a balanced wine with refined aromas.
To the eye, its color has cherry pink nuances softened by golden notes with an effect of great brightness and unique chromatic tones. The nose unveils the Mediterranean aromas of summer sage, rock salt and red flowers, with the fragrance of the strawberries and the raspberries that line the shady undergrowth alongside the vineyard. Utilizing 60% from contact pressing and 40% saignée, the production in steel vats renders it a sincere, lively and pleasantly dry wine. The initial freshness of each sip gives way to the austere taste of the Sangiovese, leaving a far from short, clean and savory finish. It was awarded runner up in the Oscar of Vini Rosati d'Italia 2014 nominations.
