Rosé from Italy

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

"Crushed rocks and a dusting of savory spice give way to nuances of peach skin as the 2020 Chiaretto unfolds in the glass. This is silky-smooth, soothing further with notes of ripe white cherry and cooling mineral tones. There's a lingering inner sweetness here, yet it fits in perfectly well, contrasting with hints of licorice and sour citrus that slowly fade. Very nice." Vinous

Modern and with a fresh berry aroma, the Rosato from the Montepulciano grape of Villa Medoro presents itself. The colour is bright and the taste is nicely drinkable - an all-round relaxed pleasure. SUPERIORE.DE

Rosato Serralori of the Argiolas family is a cuvée of Cannonau, Monica and Carignano. Pleasantly fragrant of exotic fruits, harmonious, fresh, round and full-bodied in taste. SUPERIORE.DE

Strong, bright dark pink. Fresh, fruity, mild and balanced is the Cantalupi Rosé from predominantly Negroamaro. Balanced and harmonious on the palate, well-integrated acidity with balanced fruit. Its light serving residual sweetness makes it rather a more flowery representative of its kind. SUPERIORE.DE

A successful Rosato is the aromatic Tre Torri with a spicy-intense taste and the pleasantly fresh aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

"Lifting up with a refined yet enticing display of dried flowers, exotic spice and hints of raw honey, the 2020 makes itself known. There are unexpected depths of texture here, guided by vibrant acidity that gives way to mulled apple and hints of almond. This finishes rich yet still energetic, a delicate floral sweetness lingering impossibly long. The Tre Torri is Carignano Rosato at its finest." Vinous

Slim, elegant and fresh, this is how a cheerful rosato must be: crisp with red berries, mineral and lively, this pink interpretation of the Sangiovese grape makes you want to take the next sip! SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2020 Sicilia Rose delivers a captivating bouquet full of peppery florals, young strawberries with stems and all, plus a note of flowery undergrowth that seals the deal. This is soft and enveloping, contrasting ripe melon with zesty yellow citrus and bright acidity. It's incredibly long with cheek-puckering tension, as a mix of sour lemon and green apple slowly fizzles out." Vinous

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

"Bright, intense raspberry pink. In the nose of watermelon, cherry juice and a hint of blood oranges, light pomegranate in the aftertaste. On the palate clear and with delicate fruit melting, spreads freshly over the tongue, compact and slightly salty, fine length." Falstaff

"The 2020 Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo charms with a delicate display of wild strawberries, nuanced florals and hints of stone dust. It's a vibrant and juicy effort that fleshes out across the palate with mineral-tinged fruits and savory spice. A buzz of residual acids lingers, forcing the mouth to water, as this tapers off to hard red candies and inner rose tones. The 2020 La Valentina is a spirited Cerasuolo for poolside sipping." Vinous

The Nero d'Avola grapes come from vines up to 30 years old from the Noto region. Animatingly delicate fruity notes of pineapple and raspberry. Round, full and wonderfully drinkable on the palate, with beautiful fruit, spice and a cool, fresh final. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2020 Rose di Nere, a varietal Nero d'Avola, is a vibrant golden color and offers an extroverted bouquet that mixes dried peaches, mangos and nectarines with sweet exotic spice. This is soft and enveloping, delivering ripe orchard fruits complemented by hints of ginger, as sweet inner florals form toward the close. For all of its intensity and fruit-forward character, this finishes pleasantly refreshing and poised." Vinous

The name says it all: this rosato is reminiscent of the unconventional times of 1968 in its lightness and buoyancy. Pale pink in the glass, it exudes the scent of white fruits and virtually dances until the fruity-fresh finish. The overall impression is of a cheerful yet serious rosato with a high drinking fluency! SUPERIORE.DE

Bertani's Rosé is a fresh, fruity, yet full-bodied wine. The Molinara grape, vinified as a red wine, and a small portion of white (!) vinified Merlot give the Chiaretto this unmistakable liveliness. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2020 Bertarose Rose shows a pale pink, almost onion skin color in the glass. This blend of 75% Molinara and 25% Merlot is perfumed and spicy, offering dried apricot, peach and a pungent whiff of fresh ginger. It's soft and soothing. The Bertarose tapers off fresh to mineral-tinged orchard fruits and pretty florals." Vinous
