ROSATO celebrates the uplifting energy and nuance of our favourite rosés. It is a style that works wonderfully as an apéritif and allows us to navigate foods that can be tricky to enjoy with wine and whilst nothing else makes as much sense in the sunshine, there are plenty of examples with enough depth and complexity to be enjoyed year-round.
LAMORESCA
Lamoresca Rosato 2024
Sicily, Italy
A blend of Nero d’Avola, Frappato and a touch of Moscato from both Filippo’s own vineyards and a friend’s vineyard in Vittoria, all planted over sandy soils. After just a few hours it is pressed to vats for a short rest and is bottled young, heady with orange blossom, zest and brine. The perfect aperitivo, it is Sicily in a glass.

LA PETITE SOEUR
Plasma 2024
Loire, France
A blend of roughly equal parts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc from fifty five year old vines planted over schist, the former pressed directly, whilst the latter infused in the juice as whole bunches for eleven days. The wine was pressed to vats and bottled young, resulting in a light, bright, vibrant rosé that is heady with tropical fruits and flowers and just screams sunshine.

ANAÏS FANTI
Pampa Rosa 2023
Alsace, France
This gorgeous rosé of Pinot Noir comes from young vines planted over clay and limestone in Ammerschwihr. The grapes were pressed directly to vats for a year of rest, producing a pale, vibrant wine that offers a trio of tart berries, blood orange and spice. A highly original expression of one of our favourite grapes.
