Ruffino Aqua di Venus Rosé 2024 (Italy)

Description

Dry, Floral, Grapefruit

Light pink in the glass. The wine has a complex bouquet with floral notes typical of Sangiovese, followed by herbal and Mediterranean brush overtones. The Syrah gives red cherry notes, while the Pinot Grigio enriches this rosé with citrus and floral notes. A Rosé reminiscent of Provence with a deeply Tuscan character.

This Provençal-style rosé pays tribute to Venus, the timeless symbol of beauty and elegance immortalised in Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus. Its powder-pink colour, Mediterranean character and distinctive ribbed bottle echo the shell from which Venus famously emerged.

The hand-harvested grapes are pressed gently in order not to lose the aromas. After the natural clarification of the must, the fermentation takes place in low-temperature stainless steel tanks, ensuring the maximum accentuation of the aromas and flavors. No malolactic fermentation takes place. The ageing continues in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.

Food Pairing: Chilled appetizers, oven-baked fish, fish soups, roasted game and offal topped toasts.
