Long gone are the days when rosé was perceived as just an aperitif or cloyingly sweet. Contemporary drinkers know that this rosy-hued wine has the nimbleness to please an array of palates and complement meals that take place morning, noon, or night.
Provençal rosé has been the go-to since this wine became a staple at brunch spreads, poolside cabanas, picnics, and more. But let’s face it: Bottles from the south of France have become ubiquitous, leading oenophiles to seek out the rosé less traveled.
For those who desire something more unique and boutique, wine lovers need only turn their gaze farther afield to Italy’s eastern shore, where Tormaresca Calafuria Rosé is lovingly crafted.
