2024 Longarico - Rosato

$44.00

Producer | Longarico

Region | Sicily

Variety | Nero D’Avola

Alcohol | 11%

Made from organically farmed Nero d’Avola, this rosato is crafted with a gentle approach to extraction: around a quarter of the grapes spend 24 hours on the skins before being softly pressed and blended with the portion pressed the previous day. The wine then ages for eight months in stainless steel before bottling. Intense pink in colour, it shows fragrant notes of rose petals and jasmine, red fruits and bright acidity, finishing fresh with a subtle saline edge.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Born in Sicily, Luigi Stalteri discovered his passion for wine after opening La Fastuchera, a wine bar named after the district where his grandfather Nicolò once grew grapes. In 2015, together with childhood friend Alessandro Viola, he founded Longarico, dedicated to reviving the family’s vineyards around Mount Bonifato, in the Alcamo Nature Reserve. Since 2022, Luigi has carried the project forward on his own, honouring his grandfather’s legacy. The estate includes La Fastuchera (350m), planted with Syrah, Nero d’Avola, and Catarratto Lucido, farmed organically, and La Funtanazza (650m), the first vineyard Luigi planted himself, with Catarratto and Pinot Noir, cultivated according to biodynamic principles. Luigi’s wines are made with minimal intervention: spontaneous fermentations, ageing on lees, low sulfites, and no filtration. His goal is to capture the purity of place, grape, and vintage in every bottle.
