Description
What kind of wine it is
Vinosia Piedirosso is a still red wine that authentically reflects the Campania region. Made from Piedirosso grapes, it reveals a bright ruby hue and a medium body with immediate drinkability. On the nose, it offers clear aromas of cherry, strawberry and raspberry, enriched by subtle hints of violet. The palate is juicy, supported by soft, rounded tannins that provide instant balance. The finish is clean, enhanced by a pronounced territorial minerality that highlights the purity of the fruit without excessive concentration.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from the Torre Le Cuozzo area, in the municipality of Torrecuso, in the heart of the province of Benevento. The vineyards, located at an altitude between four hundred and seven hundred metres, benefit from a continental climate with significant temperature variations between day and night. The medium-textured soils feature volcanic earth, rich in minerals, clay and limestone. This particular climatic and geological combination defines a clear aromatic profile and a lively flavour structure, giving the glass a distinctive identity.
How it is produced
This wine, the result of a family project based on sustainable practices, is made from hand-harvested grapes picked in early October to ensure full ripeness. The winemaking process includes a skin maceration of about ten days and fermentation in steel, partly started by indigenous yeasts. The complete malolactic fermentation gives the red a pleasant structural harmony. A short three-month maturation in steel completes the process, preserving the grape's fragrance and delivering a fresh and clean tasting experience.
History and Curiosities
The Piedirosso Campania IGT from Vinosia embodies the spirit of a family project born in 2004 to enhance native grape varieties. Hand-harvested on the volcanic soils of Torre Le Cuozzo, the grapes are cultivated following a sustainable production philosophy. Vinification with indigenous yeasts and maturation in steel preserve a pure bouquet of cherry, strawberry and violet. The result of the expertise of oenologists Mario Ercolino and Nicola Tucci, this red offers a juicy and vibrant sip, enriched by soft tannins and a typical mineral finish.
