LA BAMBINA

La Bambina is the smile, the joy of living and the magic of creation, but also is our commitment to a focused and sustainable viticulture.  It is a lovely expression of Nero d'Avola grapes, harvested early in the morning, immediately destemmed and soft pressed to obtain a fresh and delicate rose wine. Low temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
Tasting Notes Its colour is a pale delicate copper, with a touch of salmon rose. To the nose, fresh and charming scents of wisteria blossoms merge into fruity tones of wild strawberries, watermelon and citrus skin. On the palate it is fresh and well balanced, with a pleasant and long lasting fruity finish. To enjoy young.  Food Match  As “aperitivo” with peanuts and dried pistachios, or as a good companion for the whole meal with rice salads, grilled vegetables, soft cheeses and fish.   Ideal marriage: Sushi We also suggest:  Tuna-fish ham.   Vineyard Notes Name of the Vineyard: Vigna La Costa. Soil type: Basically calcareous soils, with plenty of lime stones. The huge amount of minerals gives the grapes a pleasant complexity, a good structure and amazing aromatic development. Characteristics: Medium deep soil with a good drainage, it has a yellowish color, with lighter fractions. Microclimate: Very open in its upper part, the vineyard is constantly exposed to the sea breezes that blow from West and South. A very low humidity, due to constant air circulation. Altitude: 80-90 meters above sea level. Exposure: East-West.     Harvest Notes Harvest of the Nero d'Avola is usually during the first half of September, but here in Vigna La Costa we pick one or two weeks in advance, as the grapes are used to produce our rosé wine.
