Tenuta Terraviva
Giusi Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo Rosato
Abruzzi, Italy
A little heavier than I was expecting. Didn’t do much snappy refreshment. Still drinkable.

This Italian rosato lights up the glass beautifully in a blaze of cherry red. The nose - the expected cherry, strawberry, cassis notes - has an undercurrent of tar and is draped in a muscular earthiness. The fruit flavors come along on the palate bright and fresh, with a beautiful acidity. The grapes, by the way, are Montepulciano with limited skin contact and steel vinification and aging.

Very light Cerasuolo, surprisingly clean for this natural wine producer. Maybe lacking some grip, but I’m enjoying the delicate strawberry notes and grapefruit finish. Pleasant and easy to drink.
