KREOS - Negroamaro Rosato Salento IGT

Kreos is Castello Monaci’s only rosé. Kreos is a very versatile, stylish wine with marked acidity. The name recalls the Greek myth of Eos, goddess of the dawn, called “the rosy-fingered goddess” by Homer due to the visual effect of the sky at sunrise.

IGT Salento. 30 metres above sea level. Calcareous clay soil, siliceous, deep and dry.

The harvest takes place early in the morning, in order to preserve as much acidity as possible and to begin fermentation during the coolest hours of the day, thus avoiding leaps in temperature; a further advantage is reduced energy consumption. After soft crushing and pressing, contact between the must and skins continues for a few hours. It is fermented in special stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature.

Contains sulphites.

Bright, concentrated pink colour. Lingering aromas of flowers, cherries, and red berries (raspberries and redcurrants). Velvety, rounded flavour, tangy and minerally, intoxicatingly fresh. A mouthwatering finish with fresh fruit notes lingering on the palate.
Si consiglia con: perfect with tuna tartare and fish soup with cherry tomatoes. Highly recommended with fish and tomato first courses, and cooked or raw fish.
