Vigneti Radica Rosato IGT Terre di Chieti 2023 is a delicate and refreshing Montepulciano d’Abruzzo rosé from the Adriatic coast of Abruzzo — crafted from soft-pressed Montepulciano fruit, fermented at controlled temperature in stainless steel, and aged for six months before bottling. The result is a rosé of genuine freshness, pale pink clarity, and a clean, balanced finish that is as versatile at the table as it is easy to enjoy.

Aroma
Fresh and elegant — red fruit aromas lead a clean and inviting bouquet, with subtle floral notes adding a gentle lift and the characteristic freshness of the Terre di Chieti terroir.
Palate
Delicate and refreshing, with fresh red fruit character and a clean, well-structured finish. The six months of post-fermentation ageing adds a quiet complexity and balance that makes this rosé as satisfying with food as it is on its own.
Pairs With
Antipasti, bruschetta, grilled prawns, fresh seafood, Mediterranean salads, pizza, pasta with tomato-based sauces, and soft cheeses. An elegant aperitif that enhances any meal or occasion.
Montepulciano d’Abruzzo fruit is soft pressed and the must transferred to stainless steel tanks for fermentation at controlled temperature — a process that preserves the delicate pale pink colour and fresh fruit aromatics that define this style. Post-fermentation ageing lasts approximately six months, allowing the rosé to develop balance and complexity whilst retaining its fresh, clean character. The wine is then bottled for further ageing until release.
Vintage Conditions
The 2023 vintage in Terre di Chieti benefited from the region’s Mediterranean climate — warm days and cool nights that allowed the Montepulciano d’Abruzzo fruit to ripen evenly, developing fresh red fruit character and delicate aromatics whilst retaining the natural acidity that gives this rosé its clean, refreshing finish.
