Success to Concours Rosa Rosati Rosé
The Rosa Rosati Rosé competition was born with the intention of creating a guide dedicated to pink wines, which are becoming so popular not only in Italy, but also throughout the rest of the world, due to their versatility.
The guide contains the results of the tasting of almost 400 wines, which have been awarded three roses, four roses, a Golden Rose and a Great Mention. There were 25 judges called to taste the wines, coming from the various Italian regions, plus four international judges, called to evaluate the wines using a technical sheet where for the first time an attempt was made to highlight the “pleasantness”, both to the nose and on the palate. The guide also highlights the pairings between the various rosé wines and numerous dishes offered by starred chefs and cooks.
The Buonamico estate participated in the Wine Competition with its Spumante Particolare Brut Rosé and with the still rosé DEA Rosa IGT Toscana 2022. The Spumante Particular was born in 2011 with an experimental production of just 2000 bottles, and over the years its success it has become such as to allow the Estate to reach the goal of being the largest producer of bubbles in Tuscany. The Spumante Particular Rosé comes from a blend of Sangiovese and Syrah, vinified in white and sparkling according to a Charmat method lasting 4 months. The nose has a fragrant, fresh and fruity aroma, with initial hints of rose followed by black cherry, raspberry and strawberry. On the palate it is fresh, fruity, with excellent drinkability also given by a very fine, persistent and elegant perlage. Perfect as an aperitif, or in combination with vegetable flans, fatty fish and roasted fish with vegetables.
DEA Rosa IGT Toscana is a blend of Sangiovese and Syrah, to which 10% Sauvignon Blanc has been added for the first time this year. Fermentation and aging take place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature. The soft pink color is characterized by elegant coppery reflections that give refinement to the product. The nose is fruity and intense, with evident notes of cherry and morello cherry. On the palate it is pleasant and ample, fresh and lively, with balance and great aromatic expression. Excellent in combination with cured meats, land appetizers, fish soups, soups with beans and lentils.
The Spumante Particolare Brut Rosé was awarded the score of 91/100 in the Rosa Rosati Rosé competition, while the DEA Rosa obtained 94/100. Both were therefore awarded the coveted Rosa d’Oro, once again confirming the commitment of the Tenuta del Buonamico in creating products of ever higher quality.
