Rosé from Italy

Strong, bright dark pink. Fresh, fruity, mild and well-balanced is the Cantalupi Rosé from predominantly Negroamaro. Balanced and harmonious on the palate, well-integrated acidity with balanced fruit. As it progresses, delicate tannins give it weight, structure and also character. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright orange-pink. In the nose open-hearted, ripe strawberry, dried orange, cold fruit tea, wet stone in the aftertaste. On the palate with a grippy texture, fine tannin, stretches pressurefully over the palate and ends fruit-driven, with medium length." Falstaff

Campirosa Cerasuolo only gradually unfolds its fresh strawberry and cherry notes adorned with sweet flowers. On the palate, silky-soft and very convincing with its ripe red fruits and juicy acids. Hints of liquorice, exotic spices and nuanced tannins emerge on the finish and seem to linger for almost a minute. Campirosa is a charming favourite wine young, but can also age for another year in the cellar. SUPERIORE.DE

"Wild strawberries and peppery roses waft up from the 2022 Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo Campirosa. This balances candies citrus against tart orchard fruits, all energized by zesty acidity. The 2022 cleans up quite well, leaving a subtle mineral tinge and licorice to fade slowly." Vinous

The extremely popular rosé classic from Lake Garda: cherry-red underlaid old pink colour, fresh on the nose of citrus and wild berries. Crisp and fresh on the palate, it is very suitable as an aperitif and with light meals as well as a summery companion in the afternoon. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Chiaretto Bardolino is sweetly floral and nuanced in the glass, with hints of wild strawberry and candied citrus. This is soft and supple with brilliant acidity to balance and crisp red fruits that resonate under rosy inner florals. The 2022 lingers impressively long while remaining completely refreshing. A subtle tinge of minerality remains." Vinous

Aromas of redcurrants, cherries, dried herbs, stones and cream. Medium body with a round and soft mouthfeel. A successful, aromatic rosato with a spicy-intense flavour and the pleasantly fresh finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Roses and candied citrus form an inviting bouquet as the 2022 Tre Torri slowly opens in the glass. It has a soft texture and is round with ripe fruit and sweet spices. The 2022 leaves a saline concentration that is slightly chewy but completely freshly tapered." Vinous

Planetas Rosé exudes a fragrant bouquet of freshly cut roses, wild strawberries, pomegranate and wet stone. Silky and smooth on the palate with a spicy, saline blend of mineral apples and pears giving way to pretty inner flowers. Lingers long on the finish, recalling all the fruity and floral notes on the nose and palate. Well done! SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Rosé is spicy and blends gravel with grapefruit and young kiwi. It feels round and silky and gains grip with the inclusion of saline minerals. On the finish, the 2022 is incredibly fresh, leaving tropical melon and a gentle hint of sour citrus." Vinous

"Notes of dried herbs and citrus peel with pink cherries and rose petals on offer. Medium-bodied, tangy and a little phenolic with vivid acidity cutting through. Racy finish." James Suckling

Clear pink colour with strong reflections. Fresh cherry bouquet, characteristic and with floral notes. Dry and fruity on the palate, with aromas of sour cherries, raspberries and wild strawberries, plus the typical very light almond tone on the finish. A very harmonious rosé with a fresh and powerful structure that lingers beautifully and is a pleasure to drink. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo opens with a smoky burst of wild strawberries, sage and lavender. It is round and pleasantly sweet, gaining traction from a core of salty minerals and zesty red berry fruit. A hint of sour cherry resonates, while residual acidity pinches the cheeks and makes the mouth water." Vinous

"Bright cherry color and the red cherry and watermelon aromas are just as bright. Medium-bodied with vivid, fruity flavor and a super-clean finish." James Suckling

The Gianni Masciarelli line is intended to embody the typicality of the region, and so this Rosato is powerful and full-bodied, as you would expect from the grape variety and terroir.

Fresh, floral-scented Rosato from Castel del Monte, beautifully accessible and wonderfully fruity on the palate. A correctly vinified everyday wine that gives us a lot of pleasure. SUPERIORE.DE
