Alpha Zeta Rosato - 2006 - Alpha Zeta
Ref: A105306
Fragrant, cherryish rosato of impressive gulpability. Fresh, cheerful, ripe and summery.

Alpha Zeta was started in 1999 when leading New Zealand winemaker Matt Thomson, set out to produce a range of modern, fruit driven wines from the hills outside Verona. Our aim was to work with growers (rather than buy bulk wine, which is standard among most wines from Verona at this price) to obtain ripe grapes (by reducing yields and picking later) and then, using Matt's expertise, preserve these flavours in the finished wines. The result is a realisation of the potential inherent in Veronese viniculture.

After macerating on the skins for about 18 hours, the must is drained off and fermented at a cool temperature (14 – 15 C degrees) in order to retain the delicate cherryish perfumes of Corvina. The wine is held in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks until bottling to maximize freshness.

Grapes: 100% Corvina (as used in Valpolicella)
