Viafrancia Rosato is a refined and unusual expression of the Syrah grape, designed to enhance its freshness and minerality. The Syrah grapes, sourced from vineyards located at an altitude of 730 meters on clay soil, give the wine a distinctive structural and aromatic complexity, influenced by the characteristics of the high-altitude terroir. The winemaking process follows a rigorous protocol designed to preserve the integrity and balance of the grapes.

The harvest is selectively carried out in the early morning hours to ensure optimal freshness and quality of the fruit. The grapes, carefully handled and transported in crates, are pressed whole to avoid breaking the bunches, ensuring a gentle and complete extraction of the free-run must, the most prized and aromatic part. This must undergoes cold static decantation for clarification and fermentation in stainless steel at low temperatures to preserve the primary aromas and freshness of the Syrah.

The wine then ages on the fine lees for at least four months, during which it acquires complexity, flavor, and texture. This aging process also contributes to the smoothness and roundness of the palate. Finally, the wine completes its maturation in the bottle, where it further matures until it achieves perfect balance. Viafrancia Rosato displays a pale, delicate pink color with subtle onion skin nuances. The aromatic bouquet is broad and inviting, characterized by a variety of aromas that develop in layers in the glass.

Floral notes of strawberry tree and red rose emerge, adding elegance and depth to the bouquet. Citrus notes, such as grapefruit, bring freshness and vivacity, while pomegranate contributes a fruity and juicy note. Aromatic herbs, particularly lemon sage, add a herbaceous and aromatic touch, further enriching the bouquet with complexity and depth. Subtle hints of orange blossom lend a touch of sweetness and refinement to the overall bouquet, completing an inviting and engaging aromatic profile.

On the palate, it offers a refined and complex tasting experience, revealing a liveliness and freshness that reflect its origins from grapes grown in a mountainous terroir. Viafrancia Rosato is characterized by a pleasant savory character that gives the wine a solid structure and lively energy, while the saline profile adds a touch of minerality, reflecting the authenticity of the terroir.

The freshness lingers throughout the sip, supported by a good acidity that provides balance and harmony. The smoothness on the palate is remarkable, with a delicate and velvety texture that envelops the palate without weighing it down, while the finish is long and clean, providing a sensation of refinement and complexity that characterizes the tasting experience.

From its vibrant entry on the palate to its lingering sensation of finesse, this wine offers a tasting experience that combines mineral sapidity and fruity freshness, fully embodying the elegance and freshness of Syrah in a refined and complex interpretation.
