ITALIAN ROSÉ OK

Admittedly, Rosé wine has never been a big part of Italy’s wine heritage, but the pink wine trend has caught on quickly throughout the entire peninsula. Today, there are stellar offerings, and the best – like this beautiful blend of Sangiovese and Merlot – are fruity, bright, fresh and vibrant. Sangiovese is well known for the pure, macerated cherry notes it brings to red wines, and that same flavor profile is awarded to this Italian pink. Merlot, on the other hand, is a relative newcomer to Italy, and donates a beautiful dark pink hue and structure to this Rosé.

​

Sovereign Virtue Rosé reflects these noble origins with its hyper-vivid fruit character and nervy, energetic core of brisk acidity. As Italy is a country like no other, so is this unique pink wine an incomparable treat. You know we love to bring something new and exciting to the calendar every year, and in particular, to change preconceptions – like, for instance, Italy’s ability to produce great Rosé.
