Description
In a nutshell:
A really tasty and flavour filled premium Italian rosato from the south of Lake Garda.
The lowdown:
Made from a blend of native Italian grapes, Groppello, Marmezino, Sangiovese and Barbera it's pale pink in colour with a touch of 'onion skin' orange. It has zesty and vibrant aromas of summer pudding and strawberries that follow through onto the dry, crisp, fruity and long palate. It's at the premium end of the rosé market, but the care and attention giving to it certainly justify the price tag. Until recently rosés haven't been widely made in Italy, but they're now being seen more widely and producers are taking them more seriously as well. When we did a staff tasting for this one the verdict was one of unanimous in our praise.
The Producer:
The admirable Ca' dei Frati estate situated near the southern shores of Lake Garda has been transformed over the last couple of decades by the Dal Cero family. The quality of their wines is attributable directly to Igino Dal Cero's obsession with detail. All their fruit is picked by hand; he ensures there is no skin contact as he wants to retain delicate perfumes and enhance the supple texture. In recent years they've substantially increased their vineyard holdings with some of the best sites in the area and honed their winemaking skills so that they're regarded as just about the best producer in Lugana.
When to drink:
Really well balanced with a captivating, refreshing finish it makes a perfect aperitif.
