Ricossa's Rosato from the Italian wine-growing region of DOC Piemonte is an aromatic, elegant and uncomplicated Rosé wine made from the Barbera grape variety.
In the glass, this wine shines in a delicate pink with sparkling highlights. The fresh bouquet enchants the nose with a wealth of aromas of juicy berries - raspberry, blackcurrant and strawberry in particular come to the fore and are accompanied by floral notes. This Italian Rosé is very elegant on the palate, with a good structure that harmonizes wonderfully with the aromas on the nose. The finish impresses with a pleasant length and wonderful aromas.
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
chianti at a good price- good value for everyday drinking
Not quite in same class as recent chianti from Wine Direct released earlier this year-but also half the price. Excellent value for a red wine: you don't have to worry about finding a superior food to match at this excellent price.
Hard pushed to find a NZ red at this price/quality ratio!
