Description
What type of wine it is
La Pettegola Rosé Banfi is a still rosé wine that best expresses the vocation of its land. Produced in the renowned region of Tuscany, this IGT combines the qualities of Sangiovese and Merlot grapes, creating a harmonious and balanced profile. It presents as fresh and accessible, characterised by a lively and refreshing acidity, perfectly balanced by an enveloping softness. The long and saline finish, combined with distinct notes of fresh fruit and delicate floral hints, makes it an elegant and pleasant expression, ideal for those seeking a rosé with character but great drinkability.
Where it comes from
This Toscana IGT has its roots in the vineyards of the region, an area where the climate and soil characteristics play a fundamental role in the development of the grapes. Careful climate management allows for the preservation of the clusters' freshness, especially in vintages with hot summers. Breezes and good ventilation help maintain the health of the grapes, while late summer rains, alternating with sunny days, promote a balanced ripening without excess. This environment gives the wine its distinct lively acidity and the delicate violet nuances that characterise its appearance.
How it is produced
The production process of La Pettegola Rosé is designed to enhance the natural freshness and acidity of the grapes. The early harvest of Sangiovese and Merlot, carried out between the end of August and September, is a crucial step to avoid over-ripening. Subsequently, the vinification involves temperature-controlled fermentation, maintained between 13 and 16°C, inside stainless steel tanks. Ageing continues in steel, with a period on the lees lasting about two months, a technique that enriches the wine's softness and refines its structure without altering its delicate aromatic profile.
History and curiosities
The journey of this Tuscan expression by Banfi has very recent origins, making its official debut with the first 2024 vintage. Among the most fascinating details of this edition is the climate management: following a particularly scorching August, the early harvest of the grapes proved essential to safeguard the perfect freshness of the clusters, preventing any risk of over-ripening. Enhancing the visual presentation is a refined stylised bird motif on the minimalist label, making the overall look extremely well-crafted.
