Five Roses Salento Negroamaro Blend Rosé
Sweet but dry and very refreshing. Totally opened my mind to the possibility that rose can be good.

2 people found it helpfulJul 14th, 2013On the nose, more concentration in the fruits. Black raspberries, raspberries, cherries, strawberries, watermelon, chewing gum and pink roses & florals. Palate is richer/thicker, more concentrated than the Masseria. Cherries, strawberries, watermelon, raspberries, well done chalkiness...not over done, fine medium intensity volcanic minerals with a rich, round, ripe, beautiful acid finish. Delicious.

Jun 15th, 2020Tartness that hits the middle of the tongue and is almost Palate cleansing. Secondary salivation. Just the right sweetness and bright tart fruit
