La Spinetta
Il Rosé di Casanova Prugnolo Gentile - Sangiovese Rosé Blend
Tuscany, Italy
Always worth a revisit- Thanksgiving wine, more grapefruit zest than I remember, to be drunk near room temp like a light red. Savory & iodine edges.

A mid salmon in colour. Notes of strawberry, melon and stone fruit. Tastes quite fruit driven and New World for an Italian Rosato. 50% Sangiovese; 50% Prugnolo Gentile (a new grape varietal for me). Easy to drink. Made for the Bistro Lunch trade where a bottle will disappear quickly.

Il Rosé di Casanova, Rosato, Toscano. 50% Sangiovese, 50% Prugnolo Gentile. Light salmon pink with burnt orange tinge. Apricot-peach aromas, strawberry peach flavors, peach fuzz like astringency on finish, quite evocative really. Nice dry Rosé with just enough acidity, better for sipping than with food.

Spinetta’s 2019 Il Rosé di Casanova is stunning in the glass, wafting up with a seductive bouquet, mixing lime and ripe melon with crushed strawberries. It floods the palate with spicy red fruits, complemented by juicy citrus and brisk acids, which keep the expression wonderfully fresh. The finish is long, as an air of minerals and fresh florals hover above salty minerals which beg you to take another sip. (Eric Guido, Vinous, May 2020)

White peach, grapefruit and underripe strawberry. good minerality. A little one dimensional but I still continue to be a fan of this rosè.

Terrifically mineral and just-underripe strawberries. A beauty of a wine with beast on the bottle. Taken down in the sidebar at Covell. Proper wine for cheers-ing to chosen family.

Oct 21st, 2018ravishing rosé ✨ alert: I included this $13 ‘17 #LaSpinetta Il Rose di Casanova in an event I did in Westchester last night, and true to its name, it sent hearts racing ❤️ . Refreshing but uncommonly flavorful (cherry, peach, maybe some orange peel), with zippy tang and a long, lovely finish. Bonus: the label features the majestic rhinoceros 🦏 etched by genius artist Albrecht Dürer in the sixteenth century. If I had a summer house, this #wine would be stocked like soda. 🥤
