2020 Frescobaldi Tenuta Ammiraglia Alie Rose IGT, Tuscany

Alìe, or “Halia”, is a figure from Greek mythology, a sea nymph and a symbol of sensuality and beauty. Alìe, an elegant rosé with a pale pink hue and subtle ruby highlights, is a stylish, beautifully-balanced blend of Syrah and Vermentino, varieties that express their finest qualities when grown near the sea. Scents of white flowers, wild strawberries and citrus peel combine with a hint of earthy minerality, typical of this growing area. With its delicate structure and lengthy, complex finish, Alìe is both an enchanting aperitif wine, as well as a delicious accompaniment to a meal shared with close friends and family.

Comprising Syrah and Vermentino

Alìe 2020 boasts asoft pink colour with delicate, peach-like hues. The elegant array of aromas make it a one-of-a-kind wine. Characterised by strong citrus notes, such as pink grapefruit, and floral notes that blend together seamlessly and beautifully enhance each other, it leaves a very pleasant after-taste. Hints of peach and grapefruit and aromas of tropical fruit, such as passionfruit and mango, stand out on the palate. Shortly after, hints of Mediterranean herbs, like thyme, sage and rosemary begin to appear. This rich and highly sensual wine is tangy and has a lovely mineral quality when tasted.
