Conte Spagnoletti Zeuli - SZO Rosato - Castel del Monte D.O.C.

Grapes of Troia which come from the old city of Asia Minore imported in Apulia by Greeks give way to a rosè wine called "Castel del Monte".

Selected and combined with other typical grapes of Apulia area, growing on an hilly land facing south in a favourable weather, give origin to a brilliant rosè wine with coral red reflections, small red fruit bouquet and a presistent fruit taste.

It should be served at a temperature of 8° - 10° C. and it allows a large possibility of coupling with rice stew, “tagliatelle” (a particular Italian noodles) but in particular with vegetables and grills fish. Recommended for an aperitif and seafood.
