Our wines are vinified with indigenous yeasts. We cold-stabilized them over the winter months. We do not practice clarifications and if not strictly necessary we do not filter them.
The Sun is new every day. - Heraclitus
Sole di Leo was born from Alessia's passion for full-bodied and colorful rosé wines and from the desire to create a wine that offers the right compromise between the freshness of a white and the structure of a red. In short, a wine for cacciucco or gourmet pizza.
This label - not by chance dedicated to our son - is our laboratory, a space where we can make experiments with grape varieties and / or winemaking techniques. And just as the sun is new every day and has different colors throughout the day, as Leo pointed out, this rosé will also be new at each harvest.
Sole di Leo 2021 is a rosé wine with a beautiful deep orange color, entirely vinified in steel following direct pressing.
It is a very versatile wine, which is expressed on the nose with fruity and floral hints of raspberry and rose, and in the mouth it is fresh, crunchy and with good flavor.
In 2019, again starting from the grape variety of our red, we created a saignée rosé that focuses on the freshness and crunchiness of the fruit.
The first vintage produced (2017) was a limited edition: a rosé wine with oxidative hints, entirely vinified in wood and aged in partially filled barrel, made from the same grape variety as our red. A surprising wine from all points of view, with good body and drinkability, with notes of tobacco and chocolate, to be tried only if equipped with the right open-mindfulness.
Since we have chosen not to join any disciplinary to maintain freedom to make wine according to our personal style, we are not allowed to indicate the grapes with which our "generic" wines are made, neither on the label nor on the site. Hence do not hesitate to contact us for info about it!
