Vintage details

The 2024 vintage in Sicily was characterized by a balanced climate: mild winters and ventilated springs allowed for slow and constant ripening of the grapes. The temperature excursions between day and night favored the formation of intense aromas and pleasant natural acidity. The yield was medium-low, with perfectly healthy Syrah grapes with great aromatic potential, ideal for creating a fresh, balanced rosé consistent with the style maintained by the Tasca family.

Winemaking and aging

The Madamarosè 2024 is born from a short maceration winemaking process, where the skins remain in contact with the must for only a few hours, giving the wine its typical delicate pink color. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel, at a controlled temperature, to preserve the finest aromas of the Syrah. This is followed by a short aging of about three months in the same containers, which keeps the freshness and fruity fragrance of the wine intact, ready to be enjoyed while young.
