Description

The Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOP Fosso Cancelli by Ciavolich is a rosé wine with unique characteristics that capture the essence of the Abruzzese terroir. From a historic winery with roots entwined in Abruzzese viticulture since 1853, this wine is crafted exclusively from Montepulciano d'Abruzzo grapes, cultivated using careful and sustainable practices.

The Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOP Fosso Cancelli features a bright and lively rosé color, reminiscent of cherry blossom petals. This wine boasts an intensely fruity aroma profile, with notes of cherry, strawberry, and a slight hint of pomegranate. Complementing these are floral nuances and a delicate trace of aromatic herbs, enriching the complexity of the bouquet.

On the palate, the Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOP is fresh and vibrant. The well-balanced acidity harmonizes beautifully with the ripe fruit, offering a pleasantly persistent drinking experience. The sensations of fresh fruit are renewed, leading to a slightly almond-like finish that invites another sip.

Ideal as an aperitif, this wine pairs wonderfully with light appetizers, fish-based dishes, and can surprisingly complement white meats due to its robust structure. When consumed at a temperature of 10-12°C, the Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOP Fosso Cancelli will best express its qualities.

A wine that represents an excellent example of how the Abruzzese territory can express itself through its rosé wines, combining tradition and innovation in every sip.
