Cantina Indigeno's Giara Rosato is made from 100% Montepulciano grown on the winery's oldest vines, approximately 35 years old, in the clay-limestone soils of the Teramo hills near Montorio al Vomano. The vineyards sit at roughly 300 meters elevation between the Gran Sasso massif and the Adriatic coast, a position that delivers meaningful day-to-night temperature swings and retains natural acidity in the fruit.
Montepulciano's deeply pigmented skins lend the wine its characteristic deep cherry-pink color even with limited skin contact. Fermentation is spontaneous using only indigenous yeasts, without temperature control, additions, or sulfites. The wine is then aged on its lees in an 800-liter Tuscan terracotta amphora, which allows micro-oxygenation without imparting any oak character, and bottled unfiltered and unfined.
The Giara label designates Cantina Indigeno's amphora-aged wines from their oldest vineyard parcel. Across vintages, the line is defined by bright acidity, an earthy mineral quality from the ceramic vessel, and low alcohol relative to the grape's typical profile. No sulfites are added at any stage.
This is a dry rosé. The 2018 vintage in Abruzzo benefited from a warm, dry summer with good diurnal range in the Teramo hills, producing concentrated fruit with preserved freshness.
