Rosé Segolaj comes from 80% Monica grapes and
the rest is made up of other red fruit vines. The harvested grapes are
pressed after the stalks have been removed. The must obtained is then
transferred to the maceration machines for a period of between 2 to
4 days, in order to extract the colouring substances present in the
skins. The pressing of the grapes results in a partially fermented,
top quality must which is then transferred to temperature controlled
containers, where fermentation is completed at a temperature of 18°
- 20°C for about 10 days. |

| Near the town of Senorbì
once stood a little, country village called Segolaj, whose residents lived
on agriculture and sheep-farming. Vine-growing was one of the oldest and
most important activities. Today the only remaining trace of that village
is the beautiful church of Santa Maria della Neve, which dominates the
town of Senorbì from the crest of a hill with the same name It is an area of vine-growers and the first settlements can actually be traced back to the Phoenicians. |
