Bonavita
Terre Siciliane Rosato
Messina, Sicily, Italy
Bright medium-light red. Slightly reticent aromas of herbs and red fruit initially, then opens with aeration to offer enticingly ripe, almost decadent red cherry and raspberry nectar aromas. Enters big and juicy, offering multilayered flavors of ripe red berries and cherries, then sleeker in the middle, offering a strong mineral underpinning along with hints of almond paste and lemon peel. Finishes with noteworthy tannic bite and lots of freshness and an intense note of cherry nectar. Another standout Rosato from Bonavita, in my opinion one of Italy’s 10 best Rosato producers.

Light red is a good description. Lots of fruit but nice and dry with medium acidity. Ripe red cherries for days. Some floral / herbal notes. Really pleasant on a summer evening—or even afternoon.

That is a “Redzato”. Bring on the Waffle BLT. I sizzled some 2000 calories on the bike ride this morning so bring on the revivement.
