Pisoni Lucy 2021 Rosé of Pinot Noir

Description

Elegant, approachable, meaningful, and fun. The Lucy philosophy is to craft beautiful wines that are classically made for pure and vibrant expressions. The wines also represent important aspects of the region’s history and community.

After selecting pinot noir grapes by hand, juice is gently pressed and fermented into wine. Then, from what is learned during meticulous tasting sessions with small-scale blends, a wine is crafted whose bright acidity and soft coral color will stand out in any setting.

Rosés are usually produced either through whole cluster pressing or by Saignée (a practice in which a proportion of the juice from pressed grapes is bled away in order to concentrate color and tannins). Lucy is created using both methods. The fruit is sent directly to the press to be squeezed and great care is taken to retain only the most delicate and aromatic juice. Next, a small amount of juice is drained from tanks of grape clusters, which gives the wine slightly more texture. Combining both practices allows an exceptional and delicate rosé.

Finally, Lucy is cellared in neutral barrels that lend texture and roundness to the wine, without the wood flavor. After three months, the beautiful rosé is bottled in clear glass that sets off the wine’s vibrant color.
