Description
The Fattoria Aldobrandesca ‘A’ 2021 is a pale coral colour in the glass, with intense aromatics on the nose. The typical floral notes of rose, synonymous with the Aleatico grape, mingle with fragrant apricots, raspberries and lychees as you swirl. The palate is fresh and savoury – this is a well-balanced and elegant Rosato from a very old and traditional variety.
The Fattoria Aldobrandesca estate is located in the southern part of Tuscan Maremma, in the center of what is known as “the Etruscan Tuff zone”. Maremma is often associated with its coastline, flat lands, pine tree forests, horses and local cowboys called “butteri”. The Fattoria Aldobrandesca estate is in rural Maremma located inland in an area known as the Tuff Area. Ancient civilizations built fascinating medieval fortresses and settlements on steep tuff bluffs that today are open-air museums. Small characteristic towns carved out of tuff stone in this area are Pitigliano, Sorano and Sovana. The vineyards rise on the slopes of a spur of tuff where the hilltop town of Sovana is located, surrounded by a beautiful landscape of incredible natural beauty, rich in architectural heritage.
