Vurría Nerello Mascalese Rosato

Di Giovanna

For the Italian wine obsessives, a Nerello Mascalese rosé is a rare and much prized treat. Already a light skinned and delicate variety, it is already a perfect candidate for elevated, serious, mineral driven rosé. Di Giovanna's rendition bewitches. At first scent you are greeted with notes of grilled watermelon, crushed strawberry, and savoury herbs. The palate is like fresh watermelon with maldon salt, basil, pickled strawberry, and navel orange. A stunning wine.
