2023 Castello Monaci Rosato "Kreos", Puglia, ItalyABOUT THIS WINE The vineyards of this hot, arid region are made up of dry gravelly soils of limestone and clay forcing the vines deep for nourishment and leading to very low yields and concentrated wines. Produced from 100% Negroamaro grapes picked in the earliest hours of the morning and immediately taken to the cellar where they undergo a gentle crushing. From a very short contact between the skins and the must is born a wine with a bright pink

and strong sense of place—particularly those grown on the domaine’s signature chalky-clay slopes
