2015 Cantina Sociale Cooperativa - Copertino DOC Riserva

With 30 years of existence, Atlantis is the first table wine produced and bottled in Madeira and represents the freshness of the Atlantic and the beauty of the Island where this nectar is produced. The Atlantis rosé is produced with the grape variety Tinta Negra. A dry & crisp rosé with undertones of strawberry fruit. Excellent as an aperitif or paired with grilled fish, shellfish, pasta and salads.

This wine consists of 100% Picpoul (or Piquepoul) - a very popular, traditional local variety planted on sun-drenched hillsides called "costières" (coastal region) in the Mediterranean garrigue, near the Etang de Thau - a coastal lagoon situated between the port of Sète and Marseillan. The vines are 15-20 years old.

The garrigue is the name given to open scrubland made up of low-growing, dwarf bushy shrubs including holm oak, juniper, broom and wild herbs such as rosemary, thyme and sage.

The color is a superb pale yellow with bright hues. The nose is elegant, with aromas of fresh fruit and citrus fruit especially grapefruit. Well-balanced with typical focusing and zesty acidity.

A pure expression of the grape varietal, the wine shows how good Picpoul can be when grown on its favorite terroir. Our best value, this wine impresses novices and hardened geeks equally.
