Missing the Rosso Magliocco Rosato PGI

Le Quattro Volte's rosé with the soul of a red: 100% Magliocco, directly pressed, in cement vats, and months in the bottle—7000 bottles.

It smells of the sea and the Mediterranean scrub: a rosé that hasn't given up on red—it just lacks color.

The Manca of the Rosso Magliocco Rosato IGP from Le Quattro Volte

Manca del Rosso is a rosé made from 100% Magliocco grapes grown on a vineyard cultivated on calcareous and clayey soils, processed by direct pressing, without any chemical treatment or manipulation. After a period of aging in concrete tanks and a few months of bottle ageing, it presents itself as what it is: a rosé with the soul of a red wine—the structure, depth, and character of the great Calabrian grape, dressed in pink. On the nose, it is scented with sea and Mediterranean herbs, with notes of small red fruits and citrus aromas that make it lively and pleasant: the serious rosé that never takes itself too seriously.
 
 
 

The roots of this Manca del Rosso are deep in tradition

In Southern Italian peasant parlance, every hill has two souls: the "sulana," the sun-kissed slope, and the "manca," the cooler, shadier north-facing side—the names with which generations of farmers mapped their lands long before land registry maps. It's a geography of folk wisdom: knowing where to plant what, reading light and shade like a book. The name of this rosé plays on that legacy and with a smile: the "manca del rosso" is a wine that has everything of a red—the substance, the depth, the grape variety—and lacks only color. A peasant name for a wine that speaks the language of its land.

Best Use: Manca del Rosso Magliocco Rosato PGI

• THE SEAFOOD TABLE IN SUMMER — Its marine scent calls for the right dish: spaghetti with mussels and Fresh Organic Tomato Pulp, parsley and a drizzle of oil: the red structure supports the sauce, the rosé freshness cleanses the palate.
• THE MAGLIOCCO IN THREE ACTS — The tasting at Le Quattro Volte: open with the pink bubbles of Colbotto Magliocco Canino, continue with the Manca del Rosso stopped and close with the Bifaro Magliocco and Guarnaccino PGI: the same grape variety, three souls — an evening to remember.
• THE FERRAGOSTO PICNIC — The still rosé is the king of the basket: serve it chilled with an outdoor lunch and finish it off sweetly with the Spelt and Organic Olive Oil Cantuccini and Cocoa, Hazelnut and Pistachio Cantucci: the Italian summer in a blanket spread out.
