Description
The 2022 Colle Rotondella Piedirosso Dei Campi Flegrei is an elegant red wine produced by Domaine Cantine Astroni, located in the volcanic region of Campi Flegrei in Campania. This wine is crafted from the indigenous Piedirosso grape, a variety typical of southern Italy and particularly well-suited to the volcanic soils of the region. Piedirosso is renowned for its freshness, fruity and floral aromas, and distinct minerality, all accentuated by the unique terroir of Campi Flegrei.
Blend
This wine is made from 100% Piedirosso, a native grape of Campania. The volcanic terroir of Campi Flegrei, with its ash-rich soils and high mineral content, lends the wine great freshness and an elegant structure. Piedirosso is appreciated for producing light but complex wines with bright acidity and intense fruit aromas.

Nose: The nose is expressive and aromatic, revealing fresh red fruits such as cherry, strawberry, and raspberry. Floral notes of violet and rose blend with subtle mineral and smoky hints, typical of the volcanic soils of Campi Flegrei. There is also a delicate spice note, with hints of black pepper and licorice.
Palate: On the palate, the wine is fresh and vibrant, with bright acidity supporting the red fruit and floral flavors. The texture is silky and light, with fine, well-integrated tannins. The minerality is pronounced, providing a sense of purity and salinity in the finish. The long and elegant finish features ripe red fruits and a delicate smoky touch, reflecting the volcanic terroir.
