Rosé Wines

Tenuta Lenzini’s “B-Side” is an artisanal rosé with impact and character, made from pure Merlot grapes, sourced from vineyards at 90 metres above sea level and set within a striking natural amphitheatre of 24 hectares in the Gragnano hills near Lucca: here the vineyard is accompanied by an olive grove, as it was in the 16th century, when the estate belonged to the Arnolfini couple. Since 2007, Benedetta and Michele have cared for this land and its produce in respect of nature, its cycles and its timing. They began by working organically and soon moved to biodynamic management both in the vineyard and in the cellar: no synthetic products, no invasive intervention, only what is strictly necessary to support the fruit’s expressiveness and preserve its authenticity.

Tenuta Lenzini “B-Side” has the colour of a rosé, but the intensity and body of a red. At the end of August, the fully ripe grapes are hand-harvested in small crates. In the cellar, the bunches are destemmed and the fruit undergoes a gentle pressing: to avoid excessive colour extraction, maceration lasts only 40 minutes; fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in steel vats, where the wine rests on its fine lees for six months. No fining or filtration is carried out before bottling.

Tenuta Lenzini’s “B-Side” rosé is appealing in its bright pink dress; the seductive aromas of pomegranate, small ripe red berries, strawberry and cherry are framed by notes of citrus juice; the palate is fresh and fragrant, pleasantly easy-drinking and well-bodied. Suggested pairing? Try it with a beetroot risotto finished with stracchino!

It presents itself dressed in a delicate antique pink, compact and luminous, and brings with it intense, complex and ethereal aromas, with notes of small red fruits, violet and rose. On the palate it is fresh and appealing, easy and immediate to drink. Excellent, finally, is the balance between taste and aroma, clearly expressed by a long finish that is slightly and pleasantly mineral. Let yourself be seduced; it will accompany you from aperitif to after-dinner with its finesse and elegance. It also pairs perfectly with pizza. What more could you ask for?
