Cicada Olympe Cotes De Provence

Villa Moncigale's Cicada Olympe originates from the Côtes de Provence appellation, where Provençal limestone and clay soils at moderate elevation define the character of this dry rosé. The wine is produced from Grenache, Cinsault, and Syrah harvested at optimal ripeness and subjected to brief skin contact (6–12 hours typical for the region) to achieve its pale salmon hue while preserving aromatic freshness.

Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel, a standard practice that locks in the delicate floral and citrus aromatics characteristic of Provence's maritime influence. The result is a wine of medium body and crisp acidity, bone-dry on the palate with mineral salinity from the limestone subsoil.

This expression exemplifies the modern Provençal rosé aesthetic: restraint over extraction, precision over richness. Drink within 1–2 years of vintage for maximum aromatic vibrancy.
