Rosato Igt Terre Aquilane

Vintage: 2015
Production area: the vineyards are placed at 450 AMSL in Capestrano, at the foot of Gran Sasso and
Monti della Laga mountains. It extends itself over the eastern side of the valley (south-west facing)
from a fresh and pure water which is considered to be the Tirino source. The grape yield is of 5200
grapevines per hectare which correspond to 90-100 quintals. This uncontaminated place is
characterized by high brightness, low humidity and frequent breezes. Temperature range between
night and day can reach a difference of 20°C, leading to a well balanced and complete maturation
with a consequent great development of aromas. Thanks to its high capacity of drinking, the rocky
soil is always accessible even after the rain. The aforesaid features facilitate the natural health of the
grape, the reason why this territory could be considered suitable for a low impact viticulture
(Capestrano is a distinctive “terroir” that has been recently exploited, even considering the global
warming issue and its negative impact on this area). History tells us that the first human settlement
on the Tirino stream date back to the V century A.C. during the ancient Saracens invasions. The
finding of Capestrano warrior, one of the most famous Picent sculptures, is a symbol of the
numerous battles occurred in this site.
