Il Farneto Giandon Rosato Rose

Deep, vivid pink with mauve highlights. The nose is expressive and fruit-forward, with tart red cherry, wild strawberry, pink grapefruit, and a faint herbal note. On the palate, fresh and dry with lively acidity, light phenolic texture from the skin contact, red currant character, and a clean, tangy finish.

 

Azienda Agricola Il Farneto is a small 8 hectare (19.77 acre) winery located between the hills Scandiano and Canossa in Castellarano in Western Emilia-Romagna. It was founded in the mid-90s by Marco Bertoni who dreamed of making natural wines that reflected their terroirs. His winemaker Flavio Restani crafts lovely wines using ancient techniques that take into account the long-term health of the soils.

Certified Biodynamic, everything is done by hand and with the utmost respect for Nature. The rows here are densely planted to 4000 vines/hectare and are on average 15 years old, all planted to sandy clay soils. While they do use large French barrels that can hold up to 500 liters, these are all old and used, just to really soften the wines a tad.
