l'Acino
Asor Calabria Rosato
Calabria, Italy
The rosato you don't expect..especially from a Magliocco.
Super queffable, but also very complex
Very long finish
Cola, chinotto, incense, licorice, leather, tobacco, definitely balsamic. The fruit is mixed with the mineral. Even the producer is quite astonished about the direction this wine has taken.
I dare to say the label is misleading, firstly cause it looks like an easy, straightforward rose wine and it is not, and secondly cause this is closer to a chilled red than a rose 100%. This could only be sold as a chilled red in Queensland. Very much in the spectrum of an amazing Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo.

I am not a rose person and this is not a classic rose
That is probably why i like it so much.
In Qld this could only be sold as chilled red, but it is instead an unfiltered, unclarified magliocco in a traditional rose version.
It fits in the cerasuolo(Valentini) category and it sits in it very comfortably
It has been in bottle 4 years already and it will get even better than this
What struck me the most when i tasted it at the cellar it was its mineral personality and then i drank it over 3 days with no signs of getting worse.
It is very complex, but also very easy drinking
I admit i had overlooked this wine when it was just bottled few years ago. Today you can see the full potential. Unfortunately we all know the rose market issue where all they look for are transparent French rose. I strongly recommend to look for this pretty boy which is not expansive at all but surely hard to source. About 600 bottles left(out of 2000?) and around 10euros at the cellar. Cheers!

この作り手は還元してる印象だったのだが、この年のビンテージは、還元なし。
一つ前のビンテージよりは果実味が増した印象だが、青さのある酸と塩味。染み込むような旨味もしっかり。
アセロラ、房付きトマト、キャンディ、小梅。
日常の料理に寄り添ってくれる感じがいい。
ワインって偉大でなくても充分だ。
ちなみにアルコール度数は14度。

Tart and juicy. It’s more than juice-like though. Would definitely drink again.

Mar 9th, 2020還元気味でビオ感強め。
優しい木苺的な果実味。そして、チャーミングな酸とハーブっぽい青さ。
最後にはじわじわ染み込んでくるエキス感。ラチーノはどれを飲んでもしっかりとした旨味を感じられて良い。
2日目
還元はだいぶ緩和されて、綺麗な甘さが出てきて、さらに美味い。2日目は9点オーバーつけてもいい位。
