Rosagreen Il Chiaretto DOC - Pasini San Giovanni

The rosé wine Rosagreen Il Chiaretto DOC - Pasini San Giovanni presents in the glass a clear rosé with delicate sheen, immediately promising freshness and lightness. The color recalls fine rose petals, juicy red berries and the delicate peel of pink grapefruit. As soon as it is poured, a fragrant, inviting aromatic veil rises from the glass, reminiscent of a summer morning by the lake and whetting the appetite for the first sip.

On the nose, a multi-layered bouquet with intense fruit aromas unfolds. Blueberry appears juicy and delicate, joined by a hint of wild berries and cassis. Raspberry comes across as clear, ripe and lively, supported by nuances of strawberry and red cherry. Redcurrant contributes a vibrant fruit note, reminiscent of freshly picked berries from the garden, with a hint of pomegranate and sour cherry. Gentle floral notes of rose petal and a touch of violet round off the aromatic profile and lend the wine an elegant, almost delicate character.

On the palate, this rosé is dry, clearly structured and precise. The fruit of blueberry, raspberry and redcurrant remains present, yet never intrusive. Instead, a fine interplay of fruit sweetness and racy acidity emerges. The texture feels silky and at the same time fresh, with lively yet well-integrated acidity and an elegant, medium body. The cuvée of Barbera, Groppello, Marzemino and Sangiovese here shows its full potential and brings tension, drinkability and finesse into the glass.

The wine glides across the palate with a clear, juicy finish. A hint of citrus zest, some pink grapefruit and the freshness of red apple peel ensure that the next sip seems to follow almost automatically. The red berry fruit lingers on the finish for a long time, appearing precise, concentrated and yet fine. This rosé never seems heavy, but remains light-footed and elegant, ideal for long evenings on the terrace or as a stylish companion to refined dishes.

The aromas appear harmonious and well-balanced, without any harshness. The structure is reminiscent of the clear line of a light red wine, combined with the cool freshness of an elegant white wine. Thanks to the skilful choice of varieties for the cuvée, this rosé unites fruit, spice and freshness in a wine that is convincing both on its own and with food. Its dry character highlights the fruit clearly, without noticeable residual sweetness, making it an ideal partner for pleasurable yet not heavy cuisine.

Vinification of Rosagreen Il Chiaretto DOC by Pasini San Giovanni

Rosagreen Il Chiaretto DOC - Pasini San Giovanni comes from carefully selected sites in Lombardy, near Lake Garda. There, a mild climate with plenty of sunshine, cooling winds and clear temperature differences between day and night prevails. These conditions allow the grapes to ripen slowly and preserve freshness, aroma and structure. The soils of gravel, limestone and morainic deposits ensure good drainage and lend the wine clarity and tension.

The grape varieties Barbera, Groppello, Marzemino and Sangiovese are considered separately in the vineyard in order to determine their optimal harvest time. Picking is selective, mostly by hand, to bring only ripe and intact grapes to the cellar. Gentle harvesting prevents oxidation and preserves the delicate red berry fruit that characterizes this rosé. Once in the cellar, the grapes are processed without delay to retain freshness and clarity of aromas.

For this rosé, a short maceration period is used, during which the skins transfer only a limited amount of color and aroma to the must. This creates the typical rosé color and a finely nuanced fruit profile. The must is then fermented at cool temperatures to preserve the delicate aromas of blueberry, raspberry and redcurrant. Temperature control plays an important role here, allowing the fermentation to proceed gently and evenly.

After alcoholic fermentation, the wine rests for some time on the fine lees. This lees aging lends the wine additional structure, subtle creaminess and extra depth, without losing its freshness. Maturation takes place predominantly in stainless steel tanks, in order to keep the focus clearly on the fruit, the precise acidity and the elegant, dry style. Wood, if used at all, is employed only very discreetly, so that the fruit remains at the forefront.

After blending the individual varieties, the wine is gently filtered and bottled. In this way, Rosagreen Il Chiaretto DOC - Pasini San Giovanni reaches the bottle clear, bright and ready to drink. The result is a rosé that brings Lombardy stylishly into the glass while also showcasing modern, precise cellar work.
