Sattui Winery in Napa<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A second ros\u00e9 we opened for our daughter\u2019s shower was the 2016 Rosato di Sangiovese. This ros\u00e9 was produced by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vsattui.com\">V. Sattui Winery<\/a> located in Napa Valley\u2019s St. Helena area.<\/p>\n<p>The delightful Rosato di Sangiovese was a lovely shade of pink with an orange hue. The wine offered an aroma and taste of strawberries and raspberries. Delightful for anytime of the year, the spring\/summer weather made it even better. The finish was crisp with fruit notes yielding to some mineral. The wine had 13.4% alcohol and a residual sugar of 3.0 g\/L.<\/p>\n<p>The winemaking notes were comprehensive included that the majority of the grapes in this ros\u00e9 were from V. Sattui\u2019s Hibbard Ranch property, located along the Los Carneros and Mt. Veeder appellations. A portion of the grapes were from the Adobe Creek vineyard below Clear Lake.<\/p>\n<p>The grapes were harvested at night by hand in mid-September 2016. At the time the brix level was 22.3.\u00a0 The winemaking techniques included whole cluster pressing and 24 hour cold soaking. The chosen yeast was Premiere Cuv\u00e9e. Some of the grapes were destemmed and macerated for several hours in a bladder press. The two were then blended.<\/p>\n<p>Looking for a ros\u00e9 for your next summer gathering? Try the 2016 Rosato di Sangiovese which retails for $26.<\/p>\n<p><em>About V. Sattui Winery<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In 1882, Vittorio Sattui and his wife came to the United States from Italy.
