Rosé wine is very versatile offering many ways of pairing. La Donna rosé wine does not have the same structure as red wines, it has the freshness of white wines and has an “intermediate” color between whites and reds. The color of rosé wine (the red shade) is obtained by macerating the grape must in the skins for a variable time of hours (the time depends on the coloring capacity of the grape which varies from year to year). At the end of the maceration, the grape must be separated from the skins and is placed in a temperature-controlled steel tank where fermentation starts. At the end of this process, the rosé wine is stabilized, filtered and bottled. Ideal match with aperitif, appetizers, pasta, meat, fish and fresh cheeses. Serve at 8 ° – 10 ° in medium-sized glass.
