Giorgi Rosato Oltrepo in Giro 18° Stappa Stradella 2020

Giorgi Rosato Oltrepo in Giro 18° Stappa Stradella 2020 is a vibrant Italian rosé that captures the easygoing charm of Lombardy’s Oltrepò Pavese hills. Crafted by the respected Giorgi estate, it’s a fresh, versatile wine made for relaxed aperitivo moments and casual meals alike. This special “Oltrepo in Giro” bottling is a nod to the region’s rolling countryside and local traditions around the town of Stradella, a historic gateway to Oltrepò wine country.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this rosato shows a bright, luminous pink hue with delicate coral reflections, suggesting both freshness and fruit intensity. The nose is inviting and immediately expressive, with notes that lean toward red berries and orchard fruit—think wild strawberries, redcurrant and a hint of ripe peach—lifted by subtle floral tones and a gentle, citrusy freshness. On the palate, Giorgi Rosato Oltrepo in Giro 2020 is dry, crisp and pleasantly juicy, with a lively acidity that keeps the wine refreshing from start to finish. Light to medium in body, it offers clean, fruit‑forward flavors echoing the aromas, supported by a fine, almost saline edge that speaks to its northern Italian origins. This is a wine meant to be enjoyed in its youth, when its bright fruit, freshness and purity are at their most charming, rather than cellared for long-term aging.

Production
Sourced from vineyards in Lombardy’s Oltrepò area, this rosato benefits from a mix of hillside exposures, well‑drained soils and the moderating influence of the nearby Apennine foothills and Po River plains. The grapes are typically harvested in the cooler hours to preserve aromatic freshness, then brought swiftly to the cellar. A brief period of skin contact gives the wine its delicate color and subtle structure before a gentle pressing. Fermentation is carried out in temperature‑controlled stainless steel to protect the wine’s bright fruit character and crisp acidity, with maturation in tank on fine lees to add a touch of roundness and texture without masking its aromatic clarity.

Food & Serving
This is an easy‑pairing rosé that works beautifully with a wide range of dishes: antipasti platters with cured meats, olives and fresh cheeses, simple pasta with tomatoes and basil, seafood salads, grilled vegetables or lightly spiced chicken. It also shines alongside classic Italian aperitivo bites such as bruschetta or focaccia. Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C (46–50°F), to highlight its freshness and lift. Decanting is not necessary; simply open and pour, allowing the wine a few minutes in the glass to fully express its fruit and floral notes.
