Description

The Maria Vittoria and Ottavia Rosato Ancestrale is a unique and charismatic sparkling wine from Fattoria Dianella, located in the historic Vinci area of Tuscany, the birthplace of Leonardo da Vinci. This wine is a testament to the winery's commitment to traditional methods and respect for the terroir. It is produced using the 'ancestral method', a natural technique where the wine undergoes its second fermentation directly in the bottle without subsequent disgorgement. This process retains the wine's raw authenticity, often resulting in a slight natural cloudiness and a complex, textured profile.

Crafted entirely from Sangiovese grapes, this Rosato Ancestrale exhibits a brilliant, soft pink hue. On the nose, it offers an intriguing and aromatic bouquet, characterized by fruity fermentative notes, hints of peach and citrus, all underpinned by the distinct, yeasty aroma of bread crust, rounded out with a touch of elegant spice. On the palate, it is decidedly fresh and mineral, defined by vibrant acidity and a persistent, fine perlage. The finish is remarkably clean and long, making it a sophisticated choice for those who appreciate depth and history in a glass.

Why choose this wine? Because it captures the soul of Tuscany in an unconventional, lively format. It is a perfect 'meditation' wine, but its vibrant structure also makes it exceptionally versatile at the table. It pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, ranging from raw fish preparations like sushi and tartare to lighter meat dishes, seafood risottos, and medium-aged cheeses. It is also an outstanding choice as a refreshing, conversation-starting aperitif. When you choose a bottle of Maria Vittoria and Ottavia, you are not just enjoying a wine; you are supporting a historic estate that balances centuries-old tradition with organic viticulture, bringing a piece of Vinci's rich landscape to your table.
