Vinification of Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOC from Magnolia

Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOC - Magnolia comes from the renowned Abruzzo region in Italy, where the Montepulciano grape can ripen optimally. The wine grows on sun-drenched hills with calcareous soil, which ensures excellent drainage and gives the grape its powerful character. Quality begins already with the selective hand-picking, where only fresh, fully ripe grapes are harvested. These are harvested at night or early in the morning to preserve freshness and the intensity of the aromas.

After careful selection, vinification takes place with great care at the modern Magnolia winery. The grapes are quickly cooled and gently pressed to extract only the delicate rosé color. Maceration lasts only a short time, which develops the characteristic cherry and red currant color. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, typically between 16 and 18 degrees Celsius. This preserves the fruity aromas and ensures a fine balance between freshness and depth of flavor.

Maturation in stainless steel tanks is typical for Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOC - Magnolia, as it excludes any influence of wood and preserves the purity of the grapes’ aromas. After fermentation, the wine matures for several more weeks on the lees, which makes the texture light and supple. Finally, the wine is gently filtered and closed with a traditional cork, which guarantees the rosé’s durability. With an alcohol content of 13.5% vol., the wine contributes to a pleasant and expressive personality without seeming overwhelming.
