2021 Lamoresca Rosato

Other Reviews....
One of the world’s great roses, making it one of the world’s great wines overall, well, in my book. Geez I like rose. This one is built from nero d’Avola, frappato and a splash of moscato. Been a while since I’ve been woken up to a glass of warm goat milk by Filippo Rizzo at the Lamoresca agriturismo. Wonderful place.
This is a more tense and febrile expression of this wine, lighter, brighter perhaps, crisp and fine boned. Cranberry, pomegranate juice, rose hip tea is the red berry motif, with some stony elements and fine, lacy trails of green olive and fennel in the mix. You need to look a little extra at it to see the nuance, but it’s there, the wine just a bit skeletal by nature and diffuse in some of the flavour profile. That being said, drinkability is through the roof, it’s electric in colour and nature with its blast of briny minerality and pleasingly bitter tang. Delightful. Drink 2022 - 2024.
