Vitalonga Rosé
A wine produced from a selection of Merlot and Cabernet grapes, early harvested and cold-soaked for 48 hours.
Vitalonga rosé has born thinking about the sea. The sea as a space, as a heart – beat that spaces out towards the horizon.
A very special rosé has born with a big thickness, unusual for these kinds of wine, rich in aromas and notes to discover, like a sea horizon that calls you upon to travel.
