Floreale Pinot Grigio Blush Terre Siziliane IGP - Cantine Casa Charlize

The Floreale Pinot Grigio Blush Terre Siziliane IGP - Cantine Casa Charlize shines a delicate salmon pink in the glass, with sparkling reflections. A fine fragrance of juicy strawberry, ripe peach and white blossoms rises from the glass, tempting even before the first sip. On the palate, this rosé is lively, light and wonderfully easy to drink, with a fresh interplay of fruit and mild residual sweetness.

The nose reveals a surprisingly multifaceted range of aromas:

• red forest berries, especially strawberries
• ripe peach and a hint of nectarine
• delicate white blossoms and a touch of citrus zest

On the palate, the wine is clear, precise and straightforward. The subtle residual sweetness elegantly balances the lively acidity and accompanies the fruity aromas through to the finish. The texture is crisp and light, without any heaviness, ideal for carefree enjoyment.

The structure reveals itself as balanced and harmonious: the acidity is lively and citrus-fresh, while the tannins remain extremely subtle and are perceptible only as a fine grip along the edges of the tongue. The finish is medium-long, marked by strawberry and peach notes that fade into a floral aftertaste.

This rosé is made exclusively from Pinot Grigio, which reveals a completely new and charming side in Sicily. The island’s Mediterranean climate accentuates its fruity style and gives the wine its seductive aromas. Here, the grape variety presents itself with exceptional lightness and freshness, while also offering enough substance for aromatic brightness and clarity.

Production of Floreale Pinot Grigio Blush Terre Siziliane IGP

The grapes for the Floreale Pinot Grigio Blush Terre Siziliane IGP - Cantine Casa Charlize come from selected vineyards in Sicily. A Mediterranean climate, abundant sunshine and the fresh sea breeze create ideal conditions for aromatic, ripe grapes with a clear structure. The soils are diverse: sandy sections, calcareous areas and mineral influences of volcanic origin provide both depth and lightness.

The grapes are harvested selectively so that only those at the optimal stage of ripeness are used. Keeping the journey from vineyard to cellar as short as possible preserves the natural freshness and fruitiness of the Pinot Grigio. Gentle processing protects the delicate berry and floral notes that later define the bouquet.

To achieve its delicate rosé color, the must remains in contact with the color-giving grape skins for only a short time. This brief maceration imparts an elegant salmon hue and a subtle touch of structure without making the wine seem heavy. The must then enters stainless steel tanks, where temperature-controlled fermentation takes place.

Ageing in stainless steel tanks primarily highlights freshness, clarity and varietal character. Wood is deliberately avoided so that the fruit, floral notes and invigorating acidity remain at the forefront. After a period of resting on the fine lees, the wine gains additional creaminess on the palate without losing its lightness.

The style of Cantine Casa Charlize focuses on modern, easy-drinking wines with a clear emphasis on fruit and elegance. Precise cellar work, clean vinification and the targeted use of temperature-controlled fermentation shape a rosé that brings a Mediterranean sense of life into every bottle in an uncomplicated and charming way.

For optimal enjoyment, a serving temperature of 10 to 12 °C is recommended. Slightly chilled, the wine reveals its lively freshness, fine strawberry fruit and floral character most clearly. A classic white wine glass supports the development of the aromas and keeps the temperature pleasantly cool for longer.

The wine can be stored for approximately two years from the vintage. During this time, it retains its youthful fruit and lively lightness. Cool, dark storage in stable conditions protects the aroma, color and freshness until the bottle is opened.

Whether as a stylish aperitif, an accompaniment to summer cuisine or a gift for lovers of Mediterranean wines: the Floreale Pinot Grigio Blush Terre Siziliane IGP - Cantine Casa Charlize brings Sicilian lightness to the glass and creates carefree moments of enjoyment for many occasions.
