Rosato Halara
Halarà rosé wine comes from a vineyard recovered, by Vignaioli Amici, at Contrada Abbadessa in Marsala.
The vines, grown using the Marsala alberello system, are Parpato, a rarity now on the island. A 20% addition, on the other hand, is Catarratto grapes. The soil in which the vineyard is planted consists of mostly clay and limestone in the subsoil.
The six brilliant minds experimented in the cellar in order to understand how an almost totally unknown grape variety would behave.
Once harvested, a first part of the grapes were whole cluster pressed and vinified without skins, while the second part of the harvest underwent maceration on the skins for 24 hours.
Spontaneous fermentation was conducted in steel, and aging, also in steel, extended for 6 months in contact with the fine lees.
Halara
"Pole Pole" in Swahili language, in the territories of Kenya and Tanzania, means "slowly" and there is no tourist who, for at least the time of stay, does not make this philosophy his own.
The same thing happens to the now consolidated "Holiday Group" of 6 very friendly and talented winemakers who took inspiration from this philosophy in Greece where "Halarà" to the Hellenic translation of "do it calmly" or, if you prefer, "relax and reflect".
The idea then arose from the moment in which this blessed vineyard, not far from the vineyards of Nino Barraco, risks being lost forever. Our farmers roll up their hands and decide to keep it. The Marsalese sapling plants, grow in Marsala, with a beautiful northern exposure, kissed by the sun and the Mediterranean wind.
The white berry is from Catarratto and the red berry from Parpato, an almost extinct grape and on which I have been loses premium vinifications and if positive positive responses have increased.
The group of 6 talented winemakers is made up of Nino Barraco, Giovanni Scarfone (Bonavita), Francesco Ferreri (Tanca Nica), Corrado and Valeria Dottori (La Distesa), Francesco De Franco (A 'Vita) and Stefano Amerighi from that of Cortona.
A dream for all artisanal wine enthusiasts to see them together and even more to taste a common wine.
