Gazzetta, Rosa Trilli 2024

Nestled in the hills above Bolsena in Northern Lazio is where Trish and the Gazzetta vineyards can be found. The area is found at a crossroads between the Mediterranean Sea, Apennine Mountains and one of the largest volcanic lakes in Europe. The influence of each is integral to forming this regions unique microclimate, which has a profound effect on the vineyards. The hot climate is regulated by equally unique airflow over the land formed by the warming and cooling of mountain and ocean breezes. Trish, alongside her partner Piero, tend to approximately 2 hectares just outside of Bolsena as well as olive, fig, cherry and pear trees and some more remote parcels further down the slope. Grapes are grown and harvested in harmony with the local biodiversity, and aged in variety of vessels before bottling with zero additives. Rosa Trilli 2024 is 100% Sangiovese harvested from 20 year old vines in Osarella, near Orvieto. Grapes are macerated for four days on the skins then fermented and aged in open vats four 6-8 months. A perfect rosato, with bright cherry tones and notes of wild strawberry and rosemary. A subtle bitter aftertaste of grapefruit peel and burnt sage adds a layer of elegance making it perfect to drink with or without food. Rosa Trilli 2024 would pair well with tuna carpaccio and blood orange kosho.
