Girofle is a fascinating rosé. It is offered by the Salento winery Garofano and well embodies the elegant and refined style of modern Apulian rosés. This Salento IGP Rosé is made from 100% Negroamaro grapes. An indigenous Apulian grape, Negroamaro is known for its ability to express itself in a wide range of wines, ranging from large structured reds to elegant and fresh rosés, like this Girofle. Salento, after all, is a land full of contrasts, where the soil is ideal for growing vines while the climate, hot and dry, with long, windy summers, allows the grapes to reach perfect ripeness. After manual harvesting, the grapes undergo soft pressing to extract only the flower must with the right note of colour. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in steel, preserving the freshness and delicate fruity and floral nuances of the variety. Finally, ageing, also carried out in steel, enhances the freshness characteristics of this rosé. In the Girofle glass, it has a seductive bright coral pink colour. On the nose, it immediately reveals floral notes evoking rose petals and peony, accompanied by pleasant hints of red fruits such as wild strawberries and fresh cherries. In the mouth, it is crisp and very fresh, with a pleasant acidity that makes the sip lively and refreshing. It is a rosé that speaks of conviviality and tradition, ideal to accompany moments of relaxation and sharing. Perfect with light appetisers, seafood salads, raw fish and sushi. Its freshness and elegant flavour make it an ideal companion to enhance the delicate flavours of summer cuisine.
