Ercole Rosato Piemonte D.O.C. 2024

12% ABV

Ercole (Say "Air-Koh-Lay") means "Hercules" in Italian and is an ode to the mighty growers from a cooperative in Monferrato, Piemonte who harvest the grapes for these wines. This Rosato/Rosé is composed of 65% Barbera and 35% Dolcetto and it's a strawberry, racy, herbal delight. Fresh and fruity, in a lovely 1 liter package. Summertime is year round when you're drinking this one. 

Producer Notes:
What’s in the bottle? With the aromatic draw of fresh-cut watermelon, this rosato screams summertime in all its resplendent fun. Two stalwart grapes of Monferrato, Barbera and Dolcetto, form this lively rosato. Following a soft pressing of the grapes, the juice is left in contact with the skins for only a few hours, lending the wine its light pink hue. Fun fact: Rosato accounts for a miniscule percentage of overall wine production in Piedmont
