Collecapretta (Vittorio Mattioli)
Il Rosato di Casa Mattioli
Umbria, Italy
This is actually Bonny Doon Vineyards Ciliegiolo rosato, not as depicted in the title. Can I get a better slug line from Delectable? (see lee eh JOE low) This wine is as dry as the proverbial bone but it smells a lot better. Grahm suggests sipping it “whilst quietly pondering the great wonder of it all.”
The wonder is why we haven't heard of this grape before. The nose offers strong cherry and an only slightly weaker herbal note. In the mouth, this wine drinks like a red, full and luscious with big fruit flavor, a very good acidity and more tannic structure than you probably have ever experienced in a rosé. All that is missing from this one is Grahm’s usually salinity. It’s a fruity - and completely wonderful - rosato.

Best rose I’ve had in a while. Juicy yet structured. Has a personality. But also kinda tastes like raspberry gushers.

Cherry, watermelon, strawberry -- like a fruit salad, in a good way
