A perfect pale pink that screams Provence!

Tasting Notes

This is a perfect, pale, raspberry-pink wine that is very drinkable. Delicate aromas are followed by lovely sweet fruit from Grenache grapes. Clean and well balanced with good depth.

Production Method

The Domaine's vineyards are situated in the best area of the AC Côtes de Provence with a very particular micro-climate and sandstone clay soils. A classic blend of Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault, the grapes are picked by hand. This is a rosé de presse produced in an ultra-modern gravity-fed winery.

Producer

Domaine de la Vieille Tour is a 22-hectare estate in the Côtes de Provence, situated between Pierrefeu and Cuers and not far from Château Gairoird. The Domaine's vineyards benefit from lying in a slight geographical depression which has a particular microclimate, encouraging the long and even ripening of the grapes. Grapes for the rosé, Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault, are cultivated on sandstone clay soils and harvested by hand, before being transported to a very modern, gravity-fed winery.

A Note on Sustainability

As a négociant, Gilardi is very keen to minimize its own environmental impact and to work with sustainably-minded growers. For example, on its bottling line, Gilardi has switched from a traditional sediment filtration system to a more efficient cross-flow filtration system and chooses eco-friendly dry goods such as Normacorc’s carbon neutral "Select Green" corks which are made from plant-based polymers from renewable resources and which are recyclable. Gilardi is expanding its collaboration with HVE Level 3 certified winemakers and currently, two of the wines it offers are organic.

Tasting Note

A pale pink shade with an onion skin hue. Delightful fruity and exotic aromas, featuring notes of wild strawberries and gooseberry. Dry and intense, with refined tannins, a firm structure, and a youthful character, finished off with a subtle bitter edge.

Producer

This wine, produced in 1896 for the first time, is an expression of the territory and enjoys a growing approval on the international market. The mild climate of Lake Garda, protected from the foothills by the cold north wind, contributes to the success of this wine. It is a very elegant rosé with a pale pink color and a pleasant fruity aroma. It is dry and intense, with a good freshness.

Production

Grapes are carefully destemmed and crushed before pressing. The wine undergoes white vinification in a reduced environment, preserving its delicate aromas and freshness. It is aged for 1-9 months in thermo-conditioned stainless steel and cement tanks, ensuring a refined texture and balance. The final wine is estate-grown and bottled, maintaining its authenticity and quality.
