Rosmè Primitivo Rosato PGI Organic

Fiore di Rosè: the Primitivo rosé with a floral and fruity heart, biodynamic VinNatur

A rose flower in the glass: elegance, freshness and a finish of small black fruits

The Rosmè from Cantina Giara

Rosmè – Fiore di Rosè is Cantina Giara's refined rosé, made from Primitivo grapes grown in the Jazzo di Stefano area of ​​Adelfia, Puglia. It is created from a brief contact of the free-run must with the Primitivo skins, followed by spontaneous and natural fermentation, which gives it its delicate and luminous pink color. Unfiltered and unclarified, it is a wine with an enveloping aromatic complexity, floral and fruity. The grapes come from a thirty-year-old vineyard trained using canopies, on calcareous-clay soil, at 231 meters above sea level, where the temperature variations give the Primitivo a remarkable, expressive freshness. Aged for twelve months in stainless steel, it is the elegant rosé expression of Giorgio Nicassio's artisanal and biodynamic philosophy.
 
 
 

The roots of this Rosato are deep in the Primitivo tradition

Primitivo is Puglia's most iconic red grape, a symbol of the warmth and generosity of this sun-kissed land. Its name derives from its early ripening—"primativo" in dialect means "the first to ripen"—a characteristic that has always distinguished it. Traditionally vinified as powerful and structured red wines, Primitivo reveals an unexpected soul in its rosé version: fresher, more elegant, and drinkable, capable of surprising. Rosé, after all, is one of the oldest wines in history: the first wines produced by man, with very short macerations, were indeed pale in color. The name "Fiore di Rosè" celebrates both the delicate floral color and the use of the prized "mosto fiore," the noblest of the musts. Cantina Giara thus creates a natural rosé of rare finesse, made from ancient grapes.
 
 
 

Choosing Rosmè means taking care of yourself

A wine produced through spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts, unfiltered, and organically and biodynamically grown, represents a conscious choice for a more natural and authentic drinking experience. The brief contact with the Primitivo grape skins gives this rosé a good dose of polyphenols and antioxidants, typical of wines made from red grapes, while maintaining the freshness of a rosé. Biodynamic cultivation on calcareous-clay soil, without synthetic products and with low yields, guarantees a lively and authentic product. The addition of sulfites is kept to a minimum. Any residues are natural and testify to the wine's authenticity. Consumed in moderation, it is part of the convivial Mediterranean tradition, showcasing Puglia's noblest native grape variety.
