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.

Pampa Rosa 2023
Alsace, France
This gorgeous 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, fragrant rosé that offers refreshing notes of red berries, blood orange and spice. This was a real hit last summer and we are so happy to have received a little more for the warm days and nights that lie ahead.

Litrozzo Rosato 2024 [1L]
Lazio, Italy
Perhaps the best vintage of this wonderful rosato we have tried, this year’s is made up almost entirely of Aleatico, meaning fragrance is at the fore. The grapes were pressed to vats for a short rest, before being bottled young to capture all the variety’s inimitable charm. A beautiful shade of watermelon, its tart berries and heady scents of rose mean a litre of this will not last long.

BARRACO
Rosammare 2024
Sicily, Italy
This delicious Rosato comes from a small parcel of young vines of Nero d’Avola planted over sandy soils. The grapes were picked early and spent just a night on the skins, before being moved to concrete until the following spring and bottled with no additions. A hazy shade of pink, it offers refreshing notes of blood orange, salt and spice.
