2024 Guerrieri Rosa dei Venti

Fresh and elegant rosé from Sangiovese from the Metauro Valley in Le Marche.

The Guerrieri winery and its location in the Metauro Valley

Azienda Agraria Guerrieri has been located in the Marche region on Italy's east coast, overlooking the Adriatic Sea, since 1800. The vineyards are situated just 12 kilometers from the coast, 200 meters above sea level, in the historic Metauro Valley , named after the region's longest river. This unique location provides optimal growing conditions for grapes with a fresh and expressive character.

The climate in the Metauro Valley is mild and balanced. Daytime and nighttime thermal variations, combined with constant air circulation from both the Adriatic Sea and the Apennine Mountains, create ideal conditions for aromatic and balanced wines. The soil consists of gray calcareous clay that transitions to light blue sediment a few meters deeper. This terroir contributes to the minerality and finesse of Guerrieri's wines.

Background and meaning of the wine Guerrieri Rosa dei Venti

The Rosa dei Venti is Guerrieri's rosé interpretation of the Sangiovese grape. The name literally means "Rose of the Winds," but it also symbolically refers to the winery's first twenty employees, to whom this wine is dedicated. This wine thus represents not only quality but also dedication and the history of the family business.

Grape variety, harvest and vinification of Guerrieri Rosa dei Venti

This rosé is made from 100% Sangiovese , sourced from 15- to 20-year-old vines at a planting density of 3,200 vines per hectare. The vineyard faces northeast, which helps preserve freshness and slow ripening. Harvest takes place in early September, preceded by bunch thinning to increase concentration. The grapes are hand-picked and rigorously selected for quality. The wine is produced using white vinification: the juice remains in contact with the skins for only a short time during pressing, resulting in its light rosé color. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, ensuring optimal preservation of freshness and aromas.
