Macco Macco Rosato Puglia IGP - Tagaro

Macco Macco Rosato Puglia IGP - Tagaro glows in an intense, delicate salmon hue in the glass. The color recalls Mediterranean summer evenings, when the sun rests softly over the sea. As soon as it is poured, an enticing aroma unfolds, immediately evoking the coastal landscape of Apulia.

On the nose, juicy red berries emerge, above all fresh strawberries and redcurrants. They are joined by hints of juicy watermelon, ripe grapefruit and a touch of blood orange. Spicy nuances of fine herbs, white pepper and a subtle floral note round off the bouquet and lend the wine an invigorating depth.

On the palate, this rosé is clear, straightforward and exceptionally inviting to drink. The first sip is fresh, with crisp fruit and delicate spice. The red berry character returns, accompanied by citrus-fresh tension and an exceptionally delicate bitterness reminiscent of pomegranate. The wine appears slender, yet still displays remarkable aromatic density.

Its structure is supported by lively acidity, which makes the wine appear taut and buoyant. Fine, barely perceptible tannins gently brush across the tongue, providing grip and definition. The finish is medium-long and very clear, with a refreshing aftertaste of redcurrants and a subtly salty breeze, as expected from the nearby Adriatic.

The Susumaniello grape variety from Apulia gives this rosé its distinctive personality. The grape originally comes from southern Italy and delights with its intense fruit and spicy depth. Its origin in the sun-blessed Puglia IGP area shapes the style of the wine: Mediterranean, full of character and yet pleasantly light in alcohol.

Production of Macco Macco Rosato Puglia IGP by Tagaro

The grapes for Macco Macco Rosato Puglia IGP - Tagaro come from selected sites in Apulia, around the Puglia IGP subregion. The Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild winters, allows the Susumaniello grapes to ripen harmoniously. Warm days and cooler nights encourage pronounced aromatics while preserving a taut acid structure.

The soils are diverse: calcareous layers meet clay-rich and slightly sandy sections. This variety provides the vines with a balanced supply of nutrients and shapes the wine’s fine minerality. Sea winds quickly dry the grapes after summer showers and preserve the berries in optimal condition until harvest.

The grapes are harvested with particular attention to freshness and aromatics. They are brought quickly to the winery so that they retain their full aromatic potential. After a short period of skin contact, which extracts the delicate salmon color and characteristic aromas from the grape skins, gentle pressing follows. The must weight is deliberately kept moderate to emphasize elegance and lightness.

The wine is matured in stainless-steel tanks. This method preserves pure fruit and citrus-driven tension. Fermentation temperatures remain low so that the delicate berry notes, grapefruit accents and spicy nuances appear clearly and precisely. The wine then rests on its fine lees for some time, giving it additional softness and a smooth texture.

Winemaker Tagaro’s style is reflected in the balance of freshness, elegance and Mediterranean charm. The signature emphasizes clarity, purity of aromas and a modern, straightforward interpretation of the Susumaniello grape variety. Every step, from harvest to bottling, is geared toward creating a rosé that immediately appeals while also showing character.
