Sommelier's Notes

Rosarubra is a biological and biodynamics winery situated in a small town called Pietranico in the province of Pescara which is roughly 390 meters above sea level. The approximately 30ha represent a unique, pleasant and unspoilt place where biological and biodynamic agricolture blends with its own essence.


The company, biologically certified in 2003, adopts a biodynamic agricultural system improving the soil fertility and food product quality.


You can come across the highest number of “palmenti” dug in the rocks in the territory around Pietranico. These tubs, dating back to the middle ages were real squashing tools used especially for this particular procedure since ancient times.


An oasis of 30 hectares characterised by a territory with a splendid terroir, where the same environment is a nest created by the nature, that protects of it and it protects the biodiversity.


Cultivated lands are joined by forests of oak and in some cases they are surrounded by them. The forest, much more than the vineyards themselves, overlooks and gives character to the landscape.


Indeed the forest is natural and very little has changed. Much has been generously left though for the pleasure of respectful fruition and to the lives of many wild animals.


Lomanegra is definitely considered as the iconic wine of Rosarubra.


Lomanegra currently on the market is created with a blend of 2 different vintages of this wine, 2008 and 2009.


We are faced with the most precious interpretation of the Montepulciano dAbruzzo grape conceived by Rosarubra .


Created from a blend of two different vintages of Montepulciano dAbruzzo, it features the best grapes selected and harvested individually from the oldest vineyards of the estate.


A perfect balance among fruit, woody tannins and chocolate gives unforgettable sensations of elegance, equilibrium and wellness.


The most valuable expression of Rosarubra Montepulciano d’Abruzzo.

Specifications
Dense, garnet, visually occupied by an extraordinary extraction richness deriving from late harvesting in the vineyard.
It amazes the nose for its full fruit integrity, for the slight hints of harmonious woody tannin and for its incomparable chocolate aromas.
Full and round, it offers unparalleled sensations of tannic elegance to the mouth and an extraordinary gustatory softness.
16 C
A wine that needs time to reveal itself, so it is necessary to open it a little before serving it, maintaining a variable temperature between 16 ° and 18 ° and with a large glass with a wide brim. You can taste it both alone and in good company, best if combined with structured and tasty dishes. Appropriate also with aperitifs, starters, red meats, vegetarian dishes, and semi to long-seasoned cheeses. Let’s imagine an ​​Italian first course, lasagna Bolognese, roast lamb, eggplant parmigiana, also fragrant cheeses like gorgonzola or a pecorino. We would match it with a first course: rigatoni with pumpkin and porcini mushrooms.
