The Purple Rose Rosato Toscana IGT di Castello di AmaPurple Rose Rosato Toscana IGT from Castello di Ama is obtained from Sangiovese and Merlot grapes grown in the territory of Gaiole in Chianti, in the province of Siena. The original vineyards are exposed to the northeast and southwest and lie on clay-limestone soils, rich in skeleton, at an altitude between 460 and 525 meters above sea level. The Purple Rose was produced using the "saignée" technique, that is, by taking a portion of the must (30%) from the maceration tank used for the production of a red wine, in this case, the Chianti from Castello di Ama. The white vinification followed, with alcoholic fermentation taking place in second passage oak barrels; the aging occurred for several months in stainless steel.
