Villa Calcinaia
Conti Capponi Rosato Canaiolo
Tuscany, Italy
A sturdy rosé, able to stand up to hearty dishes and still refresh.

Pink, almost orange. Great color. Blind I'd think it was a Pinot. Spicy vanilla, with cherry and strawberry notes. Entry is a bit on the heavier side than what I would've expected and gives way to a crisp acidic finish. Mid palate isn't overly complex, if balanced. Great with brunch or spicy seafood recipes. Would've scored it higher if the complexity of the nose carried through the mid palate. 88
