About this Wine

The Pievasciata rosato is a Tuscan wine from the young company Valle Picciola, located in the Pievasciata area, in the municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga (SI), where it manages 105 hectares of vineyards following the principles of sustainable agriculture.

The grape harvest usually takes place in the second half of August. In the cellar we proceed first of all to the destemming-crushing of the grapes, to the maceration in the press for the extraction of the color and to the static decantation in steel for 12-24 hours. Alcoholic fermentation always takes place in steel and is followed by batonnage and aging on the fine lees for 3 months. The wine remains in the bottle for 2 months before being placed on the market.

The wine is characterized in the glass by a light pink color. On the nose there are aromas of fresh rose, red fruits such as wild strawberries and raspberries, while the sip is fresh, of medium persistence.

Pievasciata rosato is perfect in combination with warm seafood appetizers, octopus with potatoes and cold rice and pasta salads.

Wines of Tuscany

Tuscany, or Toscana in Italian, is one of the most iconic Italian regions for wine, scenery, and history. Located in central Italy along the west coast, its production of Sangiovese wines is world renowned. Some of Italy’s most famous subregions for Sangiovese such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano can be found here.

Tuscany makes both simple and top tier, age worthy Sangiovese wines. At entry-level you have a wine that is pizza and pasta friendly with bright and juicy red fruit. On the other hand, the highest quality representations of Sangiovese are remarkably complex with flavours ranging from sour cherry, balsamic, dried herbs and leather to fresh earth, dried flowers, anise and tobacco.

In evidence of the quality produced, Tuscany produces the third highest volume of DOC and DOCG quality wines in Italy, only trailing Piedmont, and Veneto. DOC and DOCG wines are the highest designation for Italian wines, while you will often see the IGT classification used to represent wines from Toscana that do not reach the standards for DOC/G.

There is another unofficial class of Tuscan wines called Super Tuscans which also command high prices. These wines are often made from international wine varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah, with or without Sangiovese.
