Marchese di Borgosole — Rosato Puglia Rosé Blend 2024, Puglia IGT — Italy 🇮🇹
Overview:
A southern Italian rosé crafted from a local blend of indigenous grapes (not available into, but typically in Puglia rosé style draws from Negroamaro, Primitivo, or even Sangiovese. The 2024 vintage leans drier and more restrained, shifting focus from fruit to freshness and balance.
Aromas & Flavors:
Subtle notes of strawberry, raspberry, and watermelon, with lighter fruit intensity than the 2023 (also reviewed). Delicate floral hints and a touch of citrus bring lift and clarity, giving it a more refined and less fruit-driven profile.
Mouthfeel:
Light to medium-bodied with crisp acidity. Noticeably drier, cleaner, and more linear than the prior vintage, with a refreshing finish that carries a subtle savory edge.
Food Pairings:
White pizza, cheese-based dishes, antipasti, grilled vegetables, and light Mediterranean fare. Excellent as an aperitivo, but truly shines alongside creamy and savory flavors.
Verdict:
A more composed and food-friendly evolution of this rosé. Less fruit-forward, more balanced and dry, making it the more versatile and compelling vintage.
Did You Know?
In southern Italy, rosés are often designed to handle warm climates and food pairings, which is why many lean toward a drier, more savory finish rather than overt fruitiness.
🍷 Personal Pick Insight:
The v.2024 takes the edge, less fruit, more structure, and significantly better with food. And if adventurous, a white pizza pairing? Spot on!
