Dolcetto / Sangiovese Rosato 2022
Dolcetto comes from Piedmonte, NW Italy. Sangiovese from Tuscany. In 2022, the grapes were picked on March 5, very ripe.
Made in a traditional Italian off-dry style, the juice was stop-fermented to leave some of the natural sweetness of the juice.
The colour is a vibrant/iridescent pink/light red which comes from the skins. It has a vibrancy which highlights an indirect blue tinge.
The nose is packed full of fruit flavours.
The palate is rich, sweet and soft on the front, but 'zingy' on the finish. This is deliberate to make it refreshing and balance the natural residual sugars on the front palate. Also, like good Italian rose, it is slightly effervescent which helps it dance across the palate!
Enjoy either chilled or at room temperature, with food or on its own.
This is a unique wine.

Dolcetto comes from the Piedmont region, in North West Italy.
Made in a traditional Italian off-dry style, the juice was stop-fermented to leave some of the natural sweetness of the Dolcetto juice.
The colour is a vibrant/iridescent pink/light red which comes from the Dolcetto skins. It has a vibrancy which highlights an indirect blue tinge.
The nose is packed full of fruit flavours.
The palate is rich, sweet and soft on the front, but ‘zingy’ on the finish. This is deliberate, to make it refreshing – and to balance the natural residual sugars on the front palate. Also, like good Italian rosato, it is slightly effervescent which helps it dance across the palate.
Enjoy this unique wine chilled, accompanied with plates of cheeses, cold meats and other mixed antipasti.
