✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched hills of the Ammiraglia estate in Tuscany's coastal Maremma region, Alie is a refined rosé crafted by the historic Frescobaldi family. Named after Alìe, a sea nymph of Greek mythology who symbolizes beauty and grace, this wine captures the breezy essence of the nearby Tyrrhenian Sea. It is a harmonious blend of Syrah and Vermentino, where the Syrah provides delicate red berry structure and the Vermentino contributes bright citrus and wild Mediterranean herb notes. The grapes are gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel, followed by a brief period of aging on fine lees to enhance its silky texture and mineral complexity while preserving its vibrant, pale pink hue and fresh, maritime-influenced character.
