Ryme Cellars Rosé of Aglianico 2022

With its striking acidity, powerful fruit and firm tannins, Aglianico can make a beautiful, aromatic yet serious rosé. Heringer Vineyard is located in Clarksburg AVA (Sacramento Valley, CA). With the rich alluvial soil, the modestly warm days and the cool breezes winding through the nearby Delta, the Aglianico struggles here to accumulate much sugar. Rather than dark and brooding, the fruit retains more delicacy and brightness.

The 2022 Aglianico Rosé is a beautiful pale pink color with crystalline aromas of tiny red strawberries and fresh grapefruit rind. The delicacy of the color and aromatics belie the sneaky concentration of the wine. The palate opens with snappy acidity and finishes with expansive power.
