Fantini Calalenta Rosato

Country: Italy  Region: Abruzzo  

Varietal: Merlot Vintage: 2022

Category: Rosé Wine Colour: Rosé

Producer: Fantini Winemaker: Valentino Sciotti 

Another gem from the Farnese group. A great Rosato (rosé) made from Merlot grapes grown in Abruzzo. This is such a well presented and great tasting rosé from Italy. A great alternative to the French Provencal rosé.

Tasting Notes: This "Provence style" rosé has a very pale pink blush colour that has fresh and flinty aromas of strawberry, fresh cut watermelon and rose petals and on the palate there are mineral notes and a refreshing acidity that’s in harmony with the fruit and well rounded with good length. Its long and intense finish is the signature of a rosé with incomparable elegance.

Food Pairing: Pairs well with fish and shellfish, chicken, pork and veal dishes with tomato sauces as well as with goat's or pecorino (sheep's milk) cheese.
