Rosa is the Sicilia DOC rosé Donnafugata makes with Dolce&Gabbana, from Nerello Mascalese grown on volcanic soils on the northern slopes of Etna and Nocera from the Contessa Entellina estate. A short cold maceration gives a pale colour and fragrant red-berry and floral notes; it is fermented and briefly aged in stainless steel, with a fresh, mineral finish.
Serving: Serve at 8–10 °C.
