Located in the beautiful Salento Peninsula, an area with a long history but which is now looking determinedly forward towards the future, the MASSERIA ALTEMURA Estate’s mission is to offer a new perspective on the wines from the Southern Italian Region of Apulia. Geographically the Estate lies in the centre of Apulia, between the Ionian and the Adriatic Seas which lap the shores of the region. A unique maritime climate and abundant sunlight provide MASSERIA ALTEMURA with very favourable conditions for growing grapes.Zìnzula, the jewel of MASSERIA ALTEMURA, was born between the two seas of Puglia and celebrates the splendour of the coast, paying tribute to the most beautiful grotto in Salento: the Zìnzulusa. A rosé made with Negroamaro grapes, it seduces with the subtlety of its fragrances, the brilliance of its slender and sinuous body, radiant with light. Zìnzula’s quintessential beauty springs from exquisite details and the purity of the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean. Its colour is soft and delicate, like compact face powder, with very light coppery reflections.100% Negroamaro. The must is obtained with no maceration. This allows for the extraction of a very delicate rosy tint and preserves the freshest varietal notes, keeping tannins to an absolute minimum. Fermented in stainless steel tanks, with 4 months on the lees before a brief period of ageing in the bottle.The BouquetAmple bouquet, with sophisticated flowery notes of rose hip accompanied by pleasant aromas of black cherry, and a spiciness reminiscent of pink pepper and ginger with the merest hint of turmeric.The FlavourHarmony and intense freshness in a slender body, supported by fine acidity and made sinuous by a vibrant, savoury streak. The palate follows through pleasantly, revealing crunchy fruit and closing with a marked mineral finale, teasing the taste buds.Best served chilled at 5-6°C
