Villa Gemma Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo DOC Superiore 2020 by Masciarelli

Villa Gemma Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo DOC Superiore 2020 is a rosé from Abruzzo with a strong personality, crafted by Masciarelli, which authentically interprets a traditional yet modern style. Made from Montepulciano d’Abruzzo grapes vinified in white, it combines aromatic intensity, freshness, and a pleasant flavor profile, offering a rich yet immediate character, ideal for those seeking a gastronomic and distinctive rosé.

Territory and wine style

The wine originates in S. Martino s. Marrucina, in Abruzzo, from vineyards located at about 400 meters above sea level with exposures from northeast to southeast. The clayey, moderately calcareous soil and harvesting carried out between the second and third decades of October help preserve balance and maturity. The vinification involves a brief contact with the skins at low temperature, followed by cold fermentation and a three-month aging on fine lees: a process that supports aromas, volume, and finesse without losing momentum.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents the typical cherry pink color, more intense than many rosés, a sign of generous raw material and a recognizable style. On the nose, fresh cherries, cherry blossoms, rose petals, and citrus nuances emerge, creating a fragrant and inviting ensemble. On the palate, the wine is savory, juicy, and smooth, with a well-perceived freshness that supports the sip. The structure is fuller compared to a light rosé, yet remains balanced, with a clean and persistent finish.

Recommended pairings

Thanks to its versatility, Villa Gemma Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo DOC Superiore 2020 easily pairs with delicate cold cuts, flavorful first courses, tomato-based pasta, fish stews, fried seafood, white meats, light roasts, and Mediterranean cuisine preparations. Its combination of freshness and body also makes it suitable for dishes with a slight spicy note or based on vegetables.

Serving temperature
