Martha Stoumen
Benson Ranch Young Vine Nero d'Avola Rosato
Mendocino, North Coast, California, USA

Bouquet of wild berries that brings you back to the glass again and again. Nice weight and concentration. Malo creaminess. Very unique.
Echoes of the Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo I had recently.

Pure loveliness! No funk or effervescence this vintage! Perfect with 🍔🍔 On a too hot summer evening 😂

2020. My second February enjoying a bottle of this delicious Rosato! The fruit flavors and crisp finish paired so well with marinated tomatoes.
I need to order more than one bottle of the next vintage so I can try it in the summer…

Bring on all the funk with this one. But give it about 45 minutes to open in the glass and strawberry herbs begin to hint and tease the nose with what’s to come: An effervescent strawberry fruit punch.

Multi-vintage 2020 and 2021. The last bottle we had of this blend was the highest we’ve rated of the several versions of the Stoumen Nero d’Avola rosés that we’ve had… and this was tasting just wonderful tonight!

2022. This is now designated as Bricarelli Ranch vineyard. We were grilling kebabs and vegetables and pulled two California Nero d’Avola rosés. This wine had deep red berry and ripe strawberry flavors. We all loved it but preferred it alone as the crisper Donkey & Goat paired even better with dinner.
