TM Rosé 2019

Winter was regularely wet and quite mild, with sporadic nights below zero. The vines sprouted in the third decade of March. Spring was cold and very rainy, which slowed the vegetative growth of the plants. Veraison started in mid-July, later than usual for our standards. Summer was hot but not torrid, refreshed in fact by some mid-July rain. The Merlot for the TM Rosé was hand harvested, from sunrise to noon, on the 30th and 31st of August, the Cabernet Franc on the 5th of September. Both 6/8 days later than in the past vintages.

Of a luminous pale pink with pristine golden glare, TM Rosé 2019 offers at the nose hints of mallow and geranium, citruses, green apple and sea pebbles. In the mouth it is fresh and stimulating, very linear, sapid and persistent. A really versatile wine, perfect for the “aperitivo” and to accompany oysters, white fish, and fish and meat tartares.
