Calafuria Salento Rosé Negroamaro

This pink wine’s nose is laden with ripe, red fruit - cherries, strawberries - and a touch of citrus - lemon, lime, orange and grapefruit. There is also an herbal note, a sort of greenness than leans into minerality. The palate brings the red fruit first, followed by the citrus. The acidity is great, and the mouthfeel is quite full. If Negroamaro is the future of Italian rosé, bring it on.

Very pale pink. Big ample nose and palate with aromas and flavors of red berries, quinine and orange peel. Chewy and tactile, offering lovely balance and a hint of extra sugar on the back end, but this works. The color is rather atypical for a Salento Rosato, but I guess it does echo the pale pink wines of Provence that are all the rage nowadays. (Ian D'Agata, Vinous, June 2018)

The wine pours a pale pink color with a salmon hue and strawberry,peach,watermelon rind and a kiss of floral aromas. On the palate it is light bodied, dry and very fresh with strawberry, and baked sour cherry flavors with an appealing combination of savory and mineral elements

Bright pink hue. Aromas of grapefruit, pear, red berry, with a hint of cream. Medium-minus body, with high acidity. Good finish. Balanced. Blend of Negroamaro, Primitivo, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay.

un Rosado fantastico para el calor del verano. Levemente afrutado, mayor acidez que otros rosados tradicionales. Con unas notas leves de cerezas y citricos muy bien balanceados… una joya por menos $17 dolares.

Eh, it’s fine. A bit herbal, nothing too offensive, but don’t think I’d buy it again.

Great!
