Hands down, bar none, far and wide, this rosé was the staff favorite in the Chapel Hill store last year. Unfortunately, it was never offered via email because we discovered it too late in the season. So this year, we made a point to try it early... and often! And guess what? Again, this is the staff favorite!
Why do we love it so much? Because when it is above 80 degrees outside and you take a bottle of this wine out of your fridge, you have perfect summer refreshment. The Spinetta Rosé Di Casanova is absolutely sensational, and it goes down easier than water.
Setting a new standard in the rosé category, this Tuscan rosé boasts tart cherry, pomegranate and honeysuckle flavors and aromas. It is a complex wine that, unlike most rosés, can be enjoyed now as well as aged for a few years. Wonderful crisp acidity is the hallmark that makes this rosé a standout. In only its 3rd vintage, this is quickly becoming a perennial favorite. 50% Sangiovese, 50% Prugnolo Gentile (a Sangiovese clone)
Now an indispensable branch in his forest of Barolo, Barbera, Barbaresco and Moscato, La Spinetta's indefatigable producer, Giorgio Rivetti, ferments the Sangiovese for his rosé with natural yeast, gives it one hour of skin contact and ages the wine on its lees for 3 months before bottling.
Why the rhino on the label? Because Rivetti really likes the work of German artist Albrecht Dürer. That's why.
