Andrea Bernardini is a passionate consultant winemaker who has hit numerous home runs. He graduated from Pisa, one of the best schools of oenology in Italy, in 2007. He earned his chops at Poggio Bonelli and Ruffino in Tuscany and trained in South Africa, Romania and Greece. After several years of experiences, he is now a flying winemaker blending tradition and modern techniques to obtain high-quality wines with respect to the expression of the different grapes and terroir in which he works.

For this rosé wine, the grapes are softly pressed as a white and fermented to a temperature of 10 to 12°C for about 14 days. Aged in steel, on the yeast with battonage at low temperature, to maintain freshness and give structure and balance.
