Rossodamare 2018 - Mccalin

The Rossodamare red wine from the McCalin winery is produced from 100% black grape varieties typical of the Abruzzo area. The McCalin winery - born as a hobby and quickly became a source of life for the managing vigneron Federico Nardi - is located in the heart of Abruzzo, in the small Martinsicuro. The approximately 2 hectares of land planted with vines are treated according to the principles of organic farming, in full respect of nature and its balance. It is essential for Federico to produce wines that can reproduce the typical characteristics of the territory they come from as faithfully as possible and for this reason, therefore, he chooses not to treat the vines from which they come with chemical additives such as fertilizers or herbicides. Even in the cellar the manufacturing processes are carried out with the least possible number of external interventions, totally abolishing the filtration and clarification practices that precede bottling. Rossodamare is a red wine made from 100% black grape varieties from Abruzzo, harvested and destemmed by hand. Spontaneous fermentation at room temperature takes place following a few hours of maceration on the skins and inside steel containers. The refinement that follows - for a total duration of about two years - always takes place in steel. This red wine from the McCalin winery has a decidedly intense and deep Russian ruby color to the glass. The bouquet brings notes of undergrowth and red fruits, as well as violet and light spices. Finally, when tasted, it reveals itself to be decidedly tannic and rather acidic, with a pleasant and long final persistence. Rossodamare is a red wine that goes well with main courses based on red meat and game, possibly cooked on the grill. Also ideal with first courses seasoned with long-cooking sauces such as, for example, pappardelle with meat sauce.
