Ali Rosato
Rosato I.G.T.
Made from 100% Sangiovese, the grapes are harvested at the end of August. The bunches are selected in the fields and by an optical sorter as soon as they arrive at the cellar. After gentle pressing, the wine spends two hours macerating with the skins. It is then put into stainless steel tanks where it ages for three months on the fine lees.
The name Ali means “wings” in Italian and it is also the name of the winery owner Lia Tolaini-Banville’s “little angel”: her daughter. The artwork from the label is a detail of Cupid from the original artwork for the Bramosia Chianti Classico label by Rik Olsen.
