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.
GUTTAROLO
Amphora Rosa 2025
Puglia, Italy
This gorgeous rosato comes from old vines of Susumiello planted over limestone. Here the grapes were pressed directly to terracotta amphorae until the following spring, producing a pale, delicate and nuanced wine that combines tart red fruit and chalky minerals to beautiful effect.

LA PETITE SOEUR
Plasma 2025
Loire, France
A blend of roughly equal parts of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc from old vines planted over schist. The reds were pressed directly to cuve and the white grapes infused as whole bunches for two weeks. After a short rest, the wine was bottled young and brimming with pure, tropical fruit which is offset by refreshing, pithy bitters. Neither rosé nor red; we can think of few wines as refreshing as this.

JÉRÔME LAMBERT
Le P’tit GG 2023
Loire, France
This beautiful rosé of Gamay and Grolleau comes from an old parcel planted over sandy loam. The grapes were pressed directly to vats until the following spring, producing a pale, delicate and nuanced wine which shimmers with red berries, minerals and life. A wonderful apéritif best enjoyed in the sunshine.
