Rose 2022 (Benvenuti wines)

Analytical data: Alcohol 12.5%, total acidity 5.9 g, residual sugar 2.5 g, pH 3.21.

This is a blend of the Teran and Merlot grape varieties. Teran is the backbone of the blend, providing the authentic Istrian character, primarily liveliness and freshness, followed by notes of herbaceousness and freshly picked red fruit such as raspberries, and ultimately, lightness and generous acidity. Merlot, also deeply rooted in Istria and the second most important black grape variety in the region, contributes ripe fruit aromas and fills out the middle and rounds off the structure of the flavor. Together, they create a rosé with a unique profile, originally Istrian, with the lively character of Teran and the approachability of Merlot.
