Rosé wine | Puglia, Italy
The D'Araprì Sansevieria Rosé Millesimato is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the D'Araprì winery, a family-run estate in Puglia, Italy. Founded in 1979, D'Araprì has become renowned for its exceptional sparkling wines crafted using the traditional method (Metodo Classico). This Rosé Millesimato, produced from 100% Pinot Nero grapes, embodies the elegance and finesse that define the winery's style.
The wine's name, Sansevieria, adds a touch of intrigue and local flavor. Millesimato signifies that the wine is made from grapes harvested in a single, exceptional vintage year, in this case, 2019. This indicates a commitment to showcasing the unique characteristics of that particular growing season, allowing the wine to express its individual personality.
On the palate, expect a delightful dance of flavors. The wine is dry, with a refreshing acidity that enlivens the taste buds. Delicate fruit notes of strawberry, raspberry, and cherry intertwine with subtle floral hints, creating a harmonious and complex taste profile. A persistent, fine perlage (the bubbles) adds to the wine's textural elegance.
This Rosé Millesimato is a versatile companion for a variety of culinary experiences. Its crisp acidity and vibrant fruit flavors make it an excellent aperitif, stimulating the appetite and preparing the palate for the meal to come. Pair it with light appetizers such as bruschetta with fresh tomatoes and basil, seafood skewers, or creamy cheeses. It is also a fantastic match for fish dishes, especially salmon or tuna, as well as grilled chicken or pork. For a more adventurous pairing, try it with spicy Asian cuisine, where its refreshing character can help balance the heat.
Serving this wine at a temperature of 8°C will ensure that its aromas and flavors are fully expressed. This is a wine to be savored and enjoyed, either on its own or as part of a memorable meal. D'Araprì Sansevieria Rosé Millesimato is more than just a wine; it's an invitation to experience the passion and tradition of Italian winemaking.
