Calalenta Rosato

a rose i bought from a small importer that brings mostly fantini wines who make wines in a lot of 🇮🇹 regions.

calalenta means 'night harvest'... so romantic
as the gorgeous bottle is.

12% ABV

pale pink 👀

melon, Peach as it gets warmer, lemon zest and honey cookies. subtle greeness all along👃

medium +body.
medium + acidity.

stone fruit, very ripe strawberries, citrus oil and white pepper. and those fresh herbs hiding somewhere in the back. no sweetness available👄

pleasent tingling medium 🎯

a well made rose.
balanced, complex and very enjoyable.
as it warmed up in the glass it changed completely.
at room temperature it was a raw, acidic yet pleasant wine.

great vfm (85 nis)

while having 🍕@ my parents in law i was too afraid to open a weird, cheap, hiding in the back cabin cab they had.
this came as a digestive afterwords while watching a funny French movie back home.

would probably work great with assorted cheeses and/or some nuts and crackers

3rd from a thorough south and center 🇮🇹 wine tasting hosted by a small importer.
most were from fantini.
short notes i wrote:

melon and sourness👃
gentle, harmonious.
fruity with dry 🎯
gastronomic.
