Description
As pink and seductive as an Adriatic sunset, Farinelli Rosato is a deliciously fruit-filled pink from Abruzzo.
Smooth, plummy Montepulciano is at its best grown in the Abruzzo region, on Italy’s Adriatic coast. There it makes deliciously supple fruity reds, and a few ageworthy ones, too. This deeply hued rosato style is another speciality and usually goes under the name Cerasuolo unless, like this, it is declassified and sold for a pleasingly low price.
Strict DOC laws limit the amount of wine that can be sold as Cerasuolo, so any surplus must masquerade as Vino Rosado. Our Buyer is always on the hunt for these great deals.
Farinelli Rosato is made from hand-picked Montepulciano, Merlot and Sangiovese grapes grown high in the Abruzzo hills. It’s filled with plush cherry, plum and strawberry fruit, with bright citrus hints. Served chilled, it makes a charming apéritif and is delicious with bruschetta, cured meats like salami, risotto or even a Thai curry.
