Vintage details

The 2022 vintage was marked by a hot and dry climate, typical of Maremma summers, with a balanced spring that allowed for even ripening of the grapes. Yields were moderate but of very high quality, with concentrated fruits exhibiting an excellent balance between sugars and acidity. A vintage that favored the production of an intense, aromatic, and perfectly balanced Rosé.

Winemaking and aging

To achieve the elegance and pale color of Aurea Gran Rosé, the grapes are gently pressed whole, using a method called “soft pressing.” This is followed by static decantation for at least 12 hours, during which the must naturally clarifies. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature (16°C) in French oak tonneaux, 20% new. Subsequently, the wine ages for 8 months on its fine lees — the natural solid particles of the wine — which increase its volume and aromatic complexity. The result is a rosé with an original and refined profile, true to Frescobaldi's savoir-faire.
