Botromagno Rosé di Lulú
Wine Description
Rosé di Lulù features fruit from the single-vineyard Vigna de Trono planted over 50 years ago to Nero di Troia. At once aromatic and highly savory in character, Nero di Troia (also: Uva di Troia), is a significant and fine grape variety native to Puglia. Botromagno excels in producing red wines from this grape, and has also turned to the rosato option to great success. High-elevation fruit at 700 meters ASL yields aromatic berries, and stainless steel fermentation and aging ensure ideal expression and freshness.
