Tenuta Casali "Petalo di Rosa" Rosato Rubicone '19

Italian wines have a huge place in the heart of wine lovers here in the United States. We of course love Italian food, we love to travel there, and we love the fact that there is seemingly something new to discover about Italy all the time. We find this often with wine from Italy, given its vast array of varietals, regions and styles.

Tenuta Casali is a small family winery located in Mercato Saraceno in Romagna. As mentioned to you on the last couple wine clubs, it is a name that we want you to know. The wines of this producer are authentic, delicious, and incredible values.

So far, we've featured their sparkling rosé, Famoso white and now we introduce you to their still rosé!

Casali's rosé is just downright satisfying. "Petalo di Rosa" is a lighter styled rosé made from Sangiovese. Even with such a brief period of maceration that the wine sees, we are reminded how powerful and aromatic Sangiovese is!

Watermelon, fresh strawberry and raspberry leaps out of the glass. On the palate, these lively fruit tones are also found with a mineral finish that is salty and mouthwatering - thanks to Sangiovese's high acid quality that only provokes this furthermore.

Enjoy this wine with fresh fish, cold cuts and salads. Although not even necessary, as this will perfectly quench your thirst on a hot summer day!
