WINE DESCRIPTION
It was a long search for a rosé that could successfully age under the sea. After a series of trials and errors, we have found a rosé that could not just withstand aging under the sea but could also benefit from it.

Metiusco Rosato is a special kind of rosé made from Negroamaro grapes using a saignée method. This method produces a different kind of rosé - big and bold in expression, even slightly tannic in texture. An immensely fragrant wine full of red fruit, strawberries, and slight herbal bitterness, it showed amazing aging potential.

After aging it underwater, the results were very pleasant. The fruitiness was still very much present - wild strawberries persisted, red cherries started emerging, and that herbaceousness turned into orange-peel, Campari-like aromatics. The acidity dropped only slightly and still worked harmoniously with the rich palate. Its long-lasting flavours will accompany food like raw tuna perfectly, but it can also be enjoyed on pretty much any occasion throughout the year.
