The Gianni Masciarelli line is meant to embody the typicality of the region and so this Rosato is strong and full-bodied, as one would expect from grape variety and terroir. Delicate fruity fragrance, round and harmonious on the palate with a berry aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense cherry pink with a tendency towards light ruby red. Smells animaly-spicy in the nose, somewhat controversial. On the palate then fruity with a hint of tannin, rich in structure, a strong rosé, for lovers of the other." Falstaff

"Bright pink-red. Complex nose of red cherry, white flowers and Oriental spices. Sappy, fleshy and deep red cherry, citrus and floral flavors but light on its feet, showing outstanding clarity and floral lift. Finishes with impressive cut and mineral-driven persistence." Ian d’Agata (vinous.com)
