The wine Rosa dei Venti from Gorghi Tondi winery
The Rosa dei Venti Nerello Mascalese from the Tenuta Gorghi Tondi winery is produced with 100% Nerello Mascalese grapes, grown in vineyards owned by the winery. We are near Mazara del Vallo in the westernmost part of Sicily, a stone’s throw from the sea and the sea breezes. The estate is located within a nature reserve protected by the WWF.
The winery is a family-run winery run by women, and since 2016 all vineyards have been certified organic, which means that all the wines are organic and carry the famous green leaf on the label. Both in the vineyard and in the cellar, there is the utmost respect for nature and its balance.
This wine is part of the territorial line and is called Rosa dei Venti because it best represents the natural elements surrounding the estate; this wine has the fragrant notes of the Mediterranean scrub, the flavour of the sea breeze and the colours of the Sicilian sunsets over the sea.
The Winemaking
After the grape harvest which takes place in the first ten days of September, only the selected grapes go to the cellar for winemaking, which begins with a three-hour maceration on the skins, very short to obtain that beautiful pink colour. The must ferments in steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The refinement also occurs in steel, where the wine ages for about five months on the noble lees. After assembly and bottling, the wine rests for a few more months in the cellar before being released on the market.
Testing the wine from Gorghi Tondi
Bright pink, the aroma is pleasant with floral notes of violet intertwining with hints of red fruits to close with puffs of sea breeze. Harmonious and pleasantly spicy on the palate, the Rosa dei Venti Nerello Mascalese has a pleasant savoury note and a long and persistent finish.
Food Pairings
This rosé pairs well with shellfish, fish and soft cheeses. Try it with sushi but also with spicy Indian dishes.
