Campirosa Cerasuolo only gradually unfolds its fresh strawberry and cherry flavours, which are adorned with sweet flowers. The palate is silky-soft and very convincing with its ripe red fruits and juicy acidity. A hint of liquorice, exotic spices and nuanced tannins emerge on the finish and seem to linger for almost a minute. Campirosa is already a charming favourite when young, but can also mature for another year in the cellar. SUPERIORE.DE

Spicy and floral on the nose, it develops aromas of rose petals, leather, tea leaves, strawberries and cherries. In the mouth, it is lively and full of energy, a jagged, powerful phenolic structure gives the wine shape and form. The 2023 finishes clean and refreshing, if a little short - a particularly vinous rosé that would certainly do well on the dinner table." Vinous
