The hand-harvested Pinot Noir grapes arrived at the winery in 15 kg crates during the coolest hours of the day. The gentle pressing they underwent ensured the extraction of a clear must with a slight anthocyanin load. Subsequently, 12 hours of cold clarification allowed for further clarification, which was crucial in creating the qualitative harmony that characterizes our Leonia rosé. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a constant and controlled temperature; a portion was fermented in wood. In March, the various cuvées were blended, followed by tirage (addition of the liqueur de tirage), with subsequent aging on the lees for at least 36 months, concluding with riddling and disgorgement. Before being released to the market, Leonia rosé was aged in the bottle for several months. This brought further harmony and organoleptic balance.

It presents a brilliant onion skin pink color. The extremely fine and persistent perlage is the first sign of unmistakable elegance; the palate is tickled by a "necklace of very fine diamonds".

The bouquet continues its narrative in terms of finesse and elegance, playing heavily on a sensation of alluring freshness. Notes of red fruits are accompanied by citrus notes of pink grapefruit and a fresh essence of hawthorn blossoms. Later, sensations of bread crust and spicy notes lead the dance. The entry on the palate is dry, crisp, creamy, and extremely elegant with an undertone of sweet almond supported by textbook acidity and excellent freshness. It closes with a return to cherry for a finish of good persistence.
