Macchie Santa Maria Cantine - Ophelia Irpinia Rosato Doc
Our Ophelia was born from the desire to experiment. The great potential of Aglianico grapes, renowned for their hardness, angularity, large amounts of sugar and high potential alcoholic content. From their delicate processing comes our rosé, fragrant, enveloping, gentle, but at the same time full-bodied structured and with a strong impact, which captivates with its hints of peach and wild rose, with a full, warm and persistent taste.
