Rosé on the dancefloor

Rosé on the dancefloor

‘Rosé on the dancefloor’ is more than just a wine: it is a celebration of life, music and the joy of coming together.

How it started? This special wine celebrates a special friendship and was born from Alessandra Quarta’s desire to tell the Primitivo in a fresh and fun version, and combines with the arrival in Puglia of the famous pop-star Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

What’s in the name? A friendship born between the rows and musical notes culminated in the creation of a delicious wine embodying the spirit of the party. It is a sensory experience and a journey through captivating notes of pop music and the scents of the Salento vineyards. The name ‘Rosé on the dancefloor’ honors the song ‘Murder on the dancefloor’.

The wine:

A limited edition rosé is born at Tenute Eméra by Alessandra and Claudio Quarta. The wine is a perfect blend of fruity notes and a crisp finish, capturing the essence of a beautiful summer evening. It is light, it is refreshing and it has a playful sparkle, like the music of Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

Taste:

Made from 100% organic Primitivo grapes the wine stands out for its bright pale pink color with coral reflections, an aroma of cherries, pomegranates, wild strawberries, raspberries and pink pepper. Lively and fresh on the palate, the acidity is balanced, the wine is soft and perfect to accompany festive moments.

Dance the night away with a glass of ‘Rosé on the dancefloor’ in your hand and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Alessandra Quarta: Meritorious of Italian Viticulture

The most important award at Vinitaly goes to the winemaker Alessandra Quarta for the Puglia region.

The “Angelo Betti Award, is a tribute to the creator of Vinitaly. An accolade established in 1973 in collaboration with the Regional Agricultural Policy Authorities.

Alessandra Quarta is the youngest producer to receive this prestigious recognition which is bestowed annually upon those who have significantly contributed to the promotion and enhancement of the viticultural culture in their region.

The Cangrande Medal, the most important award in the wine industry, was presented this year for Puglia to Alessandra Quarta by the Italian Minister Lollobrigida, along with the President and CEO of Veronafiere.

“A young producer who immediately participated in the innovation of the family business, taking it to highly performing levels with her renewed, young and inclusive leadership, attention to agricultural policies and sustainability, and the development of social projects.
By working on experimentation, she initiated research projects with the University of Milan, the Faculty of Agriculture, and the University of Salento.
These are our young people who bring innovation and look to the future!” enthusiastically commented Paolo Massobrio, the ceremony’s presenter.

Alessandra Quarta’s name representing the Puglia region was suggested by the Regional Agricultural Minister of Puglia, Donato Pentassuglia, consulting the representatives of the regional association ‘Women of Wine’. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all of them for their appreciation, trust, and foresight.

Claudio Quarta – the producer: Research-innovation-modernity and traditions-history-sustainability:

The production philosophy of the three Claudio Quarta Vignaiolo wineries runs along this double track.

Claudio and Alessandra, father and daughter, the South in their blood mixed with an international gaze, create in Campania and Puglia three masterpieces of the art of wine, which intertwine autochthony, landscape and art: Cantina Sanpaolo, Tenute Eméra and the small Cantina Moros.

“The Spring Tasting is always a very good indicator for the quality of the wines from the new vintage coming onto the market now. Mid-march we will hand-over the awards for the Best of Show wines to the producers personally on ProWein, the most important wine trade fair in the world. This is always a very special moment for the board and me, because during the tasting only the quality in the bottle is important. The jury has only basic information about the wines like vintage and grape variety, so focus during the judgement is completely on the quality in the bottle.”
