Beneventano Aglianico IGT rosato frizzante “Regina Sofia sui lieviti”: why we like it

This Beneventano Aglianico IGT rosato frizzante, made for the first time in 2018, is produced with pure Aglianico grapes, coming from vineyards planted in the territory of the municipality of Sant’Agata dei Goti, in the heart of the Sannio wine-growing area. The vineyards are located approximately 250 meters above sea level, on volcanic, limestone and clayey soil and with a south-east exposure of the vineyards. The training system used is Guyot, with a density of 5000 vines and a production of 60 quintals of grapes per hectare.

After the harvest, once the grapes have arrived in the wine cellar, the fermentation phase begins in steel vats at a controlled temperature for approximately two weeks. This is followed by a phase of refermentation in the bottle with its own must, without disgorgement.

The characteristics of this wine make it perfect with tomato pizza and fried pizza, as an aperitif and with dishes based on raw fish, fried foods and cod. To best enjoy it, serve at a temperature of 10°C.
