The name says it all, here comes a Rosato, reminiscent of the lightness and buoyancy of the unconventional 1968s. Pale pink in the glass, it exudes the scent of white fruits and dances to the fruity, fresh finish. The overall impression is of a cheerful and yet serious Rosato with a high drinking flow!

"he 2018 Morellino di Scansano shows nice freshness and very decisive primary fruit. It is a sharp and zippy Morellino, carrying some tones of bitter almond and candied orange peel at the back of forest berry and wild cherry. This is an easy-drinking red that would feel right at home next to a cheesy baked eggplant dish." Robert Parker

Mazzeis uncompromising Rosato from Sangiovese and Syrah is a beautifully balanced, generous wine. Fine, floral bouquet of red fruits, medium body on the palate. This magnificent rosé offers much harmony and ends long and polished. SUPERIORE.DE

"Freshened up with a tiny percent of Vermentino, this Syrah-based Rosato offers pretty aromas of rose petals within its beautifully floral and intense bouquet. There are some toasted almond notes in there too. You'll notice a pretty vibrancy and good freshness to the 2018 RosaMati, making it a qualified candidate for a buttery scampi dish." Robert Parker

Poggio alla Guardia - the entry-level wine from Rocca di Frassinello - gives a good insight into the style of the house at a very attractive price. Saturated and dense with juicy, dark fruits, blackberry and sweet spices. An honest drop without empty promises. SUPERIORE.DE

Poggio Argentato is a beautifully balanced white with a French touch. In the nose a multi-layered bouquet with fine herbal notes. On the palate strong, fresh, elegant and carried by a mineral acidity, citrus tones in the aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2018 Poggio Argentato is a fresh white that benefitted from a cool May and June and plenty of rain in August. The blend is 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 25% Petit Manning, 10% Traminer and 5% Semillon. Fermented in tonneaux, the wine has a very precise bouquet, although the mouthfeel still needs to take on more volume and weight. There are nice little aromas of white flowers and honeysuckle. Give this one a few more months in the bottle to take on more weight before serving it along side a plate of spaghetti with vongole and chopped parsley." Robert Parker
