ABOUT THIS WINE
Briscola e Tressette is a natural rosato produced by Podere San Biagio, an estate managed by the Fiore family since the 1980s in Controguerra, Abruzzo. Located in the Colli Aprutini region, the vineyards sit at 300 meters above sea level on clay-limestone soils, benefiting from a unique microclimate shaped by Adriatic breezes and alpine winds. Winemaker Jacopo Fiore dedicated this wine to his grandfather, recalling childhood memories of watching older men play traditional Italian card games (Briscola and Tressette) in local taverns. The estate is a certified organic pioneer, focusing on biodiversity and minimal-intervention viticulture.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Crafted from 100% Montepulciano grapes, this rosato undergoes a highly natural vinification process. Grapes are harvested entirely by hand. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The skin maceration is kept extremely brief, lasting only a few hours to achieve its vibrant cherry-pink hue. The wine is aged for several months in stainless steel tanks to preserve its fresh fruit character. It is bottled unfined and unfiltered, without clarifications and with minimal sulfur dioxide additions (total SO2 under 10 mg/L).
