The wine Memorie 2010 is a rose (rosato) wine from the producer Fondo Antico in Sicily, Italy. It is a very special kind of rose wine. It is made of 100% of the grape Nero di Avola. This wine is then aged in oak barrels for a year and from what I understand the following the following four years the maturation is done in Acacia barrels before being bottled. This is done to give the wine an oxidative character So this makes the wine have a more amber rose colour that showcased the age of the wine.
Because of the oxidisation this wine feels like a lighter sherry. It is very interesting and this wine feels bone dry. This is not a wine for normal rose wine lovers but it is a wine for people who likes the dry sherry styles with a hint of rose mixed in. For me this is a good wine which is very interesting.
