Brindisi Rosato

Brindisi Rosato

Brindisi Rosato is a rosé DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) wine from the Southern Italian province of Brindisi, in the region of Puglia (Apulia). The official appellation was granted on November 22, 1979 by presidential decree (published in the "Gazzetta Ufficiale" of April 23, 1980).

The Brindisi region has a very old tradition for wine making, because Brindisi was the Roman gateway to the East and thus provided its own wine to Rome along with salt and olive oil imported from the Mediterranean provinces.

Production

The production zone is limited to the areas of Brindisi and Mesagne, both being communes within the province of Brindisi.

Brindisi Rosso is made mainly from Negroamaro grapes (at least 70%) and Malvasia nera di Brindisi; it can also contain smaller quantities of Sussumaniello, Montepulciano and Sangiovese.

Characteristics

Brindisi Rosato wine is coral-pink in colour, tending towards pale cherry-red; the smell is delicately fruity; the flavour is dry, harmonious, with a mild and agreeable bitterness.

Minimum alcohol percentage by volume to qualify for the appellation is 12%. The minimum dry extract is 18%: by comparison, the red Brindisi Rosso must have a minimum dry extract of 24%.
