Andrea Pilar Bocca dei Fossi 2024

A luminous and visionary rosé that interprets Montepulciano with lightness, depth, and expressive precision, leaving room for imagination while telling the story of its territory through a language of energy, transparency, and authenticity.

Overview

Andrea Pilar Bocca dei Fossi 2024 is a rosé that escapes the most conventional definitions of its category. It is a wine that suggests more than it declares, capable of evoking sensations and images without ever imposing a single interpretation. Its identity is born from the meeting of a particularly suitable terroir and a production philosophy focused on balance and purity of expression. Fresh, dynamic, and deeply gastronomic, Bocca dei Fossi represents a contemporary vision of rosé, where elegance and immediacy coexist in perfect harmony. Its aromatic transparency and natural fluidity on the palate make it a wine of remarkable personality, designed both for convivial moments and as an original interpretation of Montepulciano in rosé form.

History of the Wine

Bocca dei Fossi was created from the desire to explore the more delicate and refined potential of Montepulciano, highlighting its ability to express freshness, fragrance, and depth without sacrificing character. The project is based on the idea of creating a rosé that is not simply a wine positioned between white and red, but an independent and complete style capable of expressing the territory through its own unique language. The 2024 vintage provided balanced grapes particularly rich in aromatic nuances, allowing the production of a wine that is precise, harmonious, and engaging. The result is a rosé that looks toward the future while maintaining strong roots in its place of origin.

Vineyard Philosophy

The grapes come from predominantly sandy and alluvial soils rich in stones and potassium, located at more than 300 meters above sea level. These characteristics provide excellent drainage and contribute to the development of remarkable aromatic and flavor precision. The elevation also ensures significant day-to-night temperature variation, preserving the freshness and tension that define the wine. Vineyard management is focused on enhancing the natural balance of the vines and achieving the purest possible expression of the fruit. This approach allows Montepulciano to develop a refined aromatic profile and a structure capable of supporting the dynamic character that distinguishes Bocca dei Fossi.

Winemaking Approach

Andrea Pilar Bocca dei Fossi 2024 is produced exclusively from Montepulciano grapes. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks over a period of 15 to 20 days without the use of selected yeasts, allowing the wine to express its natural aromatic heritage with complete authenticity. Following fermentation, frequent stirring of the fine lees is carried out, a practice that enhances complexity, balance, and textural richness. Subsequent maturation in stainless steel preserves varietal freshness and aromatic precision, while the final bottle aging allows perfect integration of the wine’s various components. The result is a rosé that is precise, vibrant, and deeply connected to its territory.

Tasting Notes

Color: Translucent and brilliant pink, luminous and refined, immediately conveying freshness and elegance.

Nose: Intense aromas of sour cherry and wild berries intertwine with delicate floral notes, creating a bouquet that is fresh, dynamic, and highly inviting.

Palate: Juicy, harmonious, and complete, characterized by a flowing, precise, and penetrating palate that combines freshness, salinity, and persistence.

Food Pairings

The versatility of Andrea Pilar Bocca dei Fossi 2024 makes it an ideal companion for a wide range of gastronomic occasions. It pairs beautifully with appetizers, delicate cured meats, seafood preparations, and dishes inspired by Mediterranean cuisine. Its freshness and fruit-driven character also allow successful pairings with white meats, grilled vegetables, and pasta dishes featuring aromatic ingredients. Its balanced structure and vibrant saline character make it particularly appealing throughout an entire meal, naturally complementing both simple recipes and more elaborate preparations. It is a wine that expresses its personality at its best when shared in relaxed and convivial settings.
