“The ideafor this vintage came one morning while admiring the dawn breaking over the vineyards of the Tenuta
Ammiraglia Estate. The faint rays of sun illuminating the shores of the Maremmaalso inspired its name: Aurea Gran Rosé
– aurea being Italian for "golden". The most representative wine of Tenuta, it is the ideal union of seaand vineyards, Syrah
and Vermentino, and the elegance and harmony of nature.”

VINIFICATION AND AGEING
The hand-harvested grape clusters are meticulously and rigorously selected, beginning at the first light of dawn and always
during the cooler hours of the day. Once harvested, the grapes are quickly transported to the cellar. Starting with the
fundamental pressing stage, nothing is left to chance. In an oxygen-free environment, the clusters are carefully checked
and loaded into the press, whole. The pressure applied during this phase is of the utmost softness and delicacy, to avoid
stressing the grape. This process, along with the attentive selection of the must and its subsequent decanting for no less
than twelve hours allows for the elimination of any earthy or vegetal components. The fermentation takes place at a
controlled temperature (16°C) in medium-toasted 600 litre French oak barrels, of which on average 20% are new. Upon its
completion, the two varieties and asmall selection of white vinified Syrah from the previous harvest (Reserve Wine) are
assembled and aged in barriques for twenty months. Ageing on fine fermentation lees follows for a period of eight months

TASTING NOTES
Aurea 2017 immediately wins you over with its delicate appearance - a pale pink with bright nuances of pinkish gold. Its
bouquet is intense and highly complex, with refined notes of fresh fruits. The taste is soft and velvety accompanied by
sweet and spicy aromas. The elegant acidity is enhanced by mineral notes that give Aureaa unique character, transferring
persistence and depth to the palate.
