Our interpretation of a rosé wine takes inspiration from international tradition, in particular from the French one which considers Merlot grapes among the most suitable for the production of this type of wine; In Italy, Merlot, introduced in the mid-nineteenth century, found ideal environmental conditions in many northern regions. It arrived in Sicily around the eighties of the last century, demonstrating truly surprising adaptation.
