“Character” is the password of Bruno Fina and his family. Fina’s wines are the result of a land that is loved and fought for, they have the taste of the passion and of that grapes that have been wisely turned into wine, thanks to the dedication of the work in the vineyard. They have the familiar warmth and the experience of who has always done wine and has always know how to narrate it. This is how you transmit the hereditary character of the territory and the harmony of the men that search for excellence on a daily basis.

About the grape variety

This interpretation of a rosé wine takes its cue from international tradition, in particular that of France, which considers Merlot grapes to be among the most suitable for the production of this type of wine. In Italy, Merlot, introduced in the mid-1800s, found ideal environmental conditions in many northern regions, and arrived in Sicily around the 1980s, proving to be a truly surprising adaptation.

Winemaking

Espalier, with Guyot training. 850 metres above sea level. Planting density of 5000 plants per hectare. Harvest in the middle of August. Fermentation in steel at controlled temperature (16 degrees) for 8 days. Maturation in steel with resting on the lees for about three months.
The must is decanted into steel vats filled with nitrogen at a temperature of 0 to 1 degree for about 15 days in contact with the pulp in suspension (stabling).

Tasting notes

Pale pink in colour, the nose reveals floral notes of peach, jasmine, orange blossom and boxwood vegetables. On the palate, fruity sensations of black cherry, peach, blueberry and more exotic fruits such as lychee and grapefruit.

Food pairing

It goes very well with fish and shellfish starters, smoked meats, seafood dishes, fish, shellfish and crustaceans. We suggest a ‘modern’ pairing with sushi and sashimi. Serving temperature: 10-12°C.
