Castello di Ama has been producing Rosé wine since 1982 and Purple Rose was born in 2017 with a new methodology vinifying
part of the must in barriques. It is obtained from the best Sangiovese tanks by means of a bloodletting (saignee) carried out
after about 12 hours of contact with the skins. A marvel that celebrates the uniqueness of the Castello di Ama vineyards.
CLIMATE
The cold and strong excursions characterized the first part of the year, after a snowfall in January it
was followed by an unusually mild month of February. Spring was cool and rainy, this affected the
early varieties during flowering, leading to a reduction in the load of grapes per vine. Towards the middle of June, summer broke out
which was hot and dry. The harvest began on September 5 and ended on October 10.
VINIFICATION
The fermentation in second passage oak, of a part of the must about 30% of the total, has the effect of giving the
wine greater longevity and better color stability and of complexifying its aroma, embellishing the pleasant
bouquet of red fruits with deeper scents.

Aroma: Primary fruity aromas that recall cherry and ripe strawberry
Taste: the attack immediately denotes the personality of this wine. Persistent in the mouth with references to red fruits and
mineral notes. An extraordinary freshness completes the taste profile. Purple Rose, is broad
and complex, with floral hints, intense notes of cherry and raspberry. Juicy, savoury, elegant.
