This rose is made from a blend of 59% Aglianico, 31% Nero d’Avola and 10% Sagrantino grapes. Pale salmon pink colour with a watery hue. Delicately scented, the nose offers up raspberry, strawberry and citrus aromas along with some light musk. Brisk and elegant the palate serves up vibrant raspberry, strawberry, tangy orange and citrus fruits finishing dry with crisp acidity and a touch of minerality. Zesty aftertaste.

Other Reviews…..
Rose made with 59% aglianico (fermented in old oak), 31% nero d'Avola and 10% sagrantino. It's both extremely pale and extremely characterful. It tastes of ripe, sweet cherries, anise, orange oil and blossoms, and grapefruit; it sounds odd, but it tastes delicious. Drink by 2021.
