VALENTINA PASSALAQUA 9 IS ENOUGH ROSATO

 9 is Enough is the culmination of the relatively short time Valentina has learned the nuance of her vineyard and the unique micro-sites within it. ‘9 is Enough’ showcases the beauty of the grapes at a very low alcohol level, or 9% is enough. She has initially set out to make them non-vintage wines, leaving herself the creative flexibility to blend across multiple vintages for unique profiles or for further experimentation in the cellar that might require the wine to be labelled non-vintage.

The fruit was hand-harvested, and left fully intact for fermentation. It was fermented 100% whole-berry in open-top stainless-steel tanks. Fermentation happened naturally and the lot was gently hand plunged for a very light extraction and to break up the berries a bit. After five days it was pressed directly to stainless-steel tanks to finish fermentation and age for a brief period without any disturbance. After six months the wine was bottled without fining or filtration and just a small addition of sulfur. 

Elegant rosé of Primitivo that smells of strawberry and blackberries. On the palate, extremely fluidity and salinity enhance the wild herbal references. Energetic and resolute finish
