It is, in fact, a Rosé with a marine breath, with characteristics that enhance the finesse of the grape and the Mediterranean character of the wonderful production area. It is a wine that is born in the shade of the Temples of Paestum from vineyards cultivated on medium-textured soils, predominantly composed of limestone and clays. The grapes undergo a low-temperature maceration for six hours and are then gently pressed with a brief contact with the skins to extract only a minimum of color and aromas. The must is vinified in white in temperature-controlled steel tanks, and the wine always ages in steel for 6 months before bottling.
