Cellar Aixalà i Alcait ‘Cal.ligrima’ Carinyena Rosat 2018 Size::6 Bottle Case An honest-to-goodness Tuscan red

An honest-to-goodness Tuscan red

It gets its character through the connection between eight different vineyards and four typical grape varieties of the Rhône Valley

Cool night winds caress the grapes and give them great fruitiness

There's acidity on the tongue yet a hug of richness

The use of the 114 and 115 clones brings riper 'fleshy berry' characters all the while delivering fantastic structure

Cellar Aixalà i Alcait ‘Cal.ligrima’ Carinyena Rosat 2018 Size::6 Bottle Case An honest-to-goodness Tuscan redCaligram, a drawing with words. It's a pink loaded with terroir and varietal typicity, textural and interesting with food (rather than all those vapid, scared of life rosies). A Rosat (Rosado) of outrageous Carinyena purple! Has an excellent spicy herbal twang, steely Llicorella mineral adds to the tang, as does the wirey briaryness of Carinyena. There's just a touch of glycerol, but no heat, and good acidity organises the soft, earthy fruit core.
