Cerasuolo – the name is derived from "cerasa", meaning cherry, and also describes the vibrant colour of this rosé made from 100% Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. The Di Properzio brothers have been producing it in Spoltore, near Pescara, since 1990: Hand-harvested, 18 hours' maceration, followed by saignée and slow fermentation at a low temperature in stainless steel. No oak, no frills – just the grape variety and the terroir. Cherry red in the glass, with fresh sour cherry, strawberry and a hint of pomegranate on the nose. On the palate, lively acidity, a juicy texture and a salty minerality that recalls its proximity to the Adriatic Sea. Not a pale terrace rosé, but a wine with backbone – and one of Italy's often-underestimated rosati. SUPERIORE.DE

"A medium garnet red. The nose is inviting, with notes of strawberries, raspberries, blackcurrants, a hint of ripe yellow stone fruit and plums. Fresh on the palate with good intensity, offering a delicate interplay of fruit and freshness. Drinks well. Good length." Vinum

"A deep pink colour. On the nose, plenty of herbal notes, reminiscent of sage and rosemary, with fully ripe cherry undertones. On the palate, it is full-bodied and warming, with a lively acidity and final spicy, lingering final." Falstaff
