Rosie Giovese Vino Rosato ($35)

Launched in 2021, Sandy Giovese wines are the creation of Amy Ezrin, accomplished entrepreneur, Italian wine expert and importer.

The brand name is a playful reference to her alter ego, Sandy Giovese, referring to the famous Italian grape Sangiovese which this wine is based on. Rosie Giovese is the ‘sister’ of Sandy Giovese.

Sandy Giovese’s commitment to raising awareness around environmental sustainability and the empowerment of women and girls is represented by the strong personality of their central character.

They have been practicing sustainable farming since 2016 when they converted their vineyards to organic farming, supported by a fully solar-powered wine cellar.

This wonderful Rosie Giovese Vino Rosato is a blend of 85% Sangiovese and 15% Trebbiano. It is produced in stainless-steel tanks to preserve its freshness with a seven-day maceration period for the Sangiovese and just four-hours of maceration for the Trebbiano.

This Rosie Giovese Vino Rosato is a beautiful salmon colored wine. On the nose it has strawberry and notes of candied cherry. On the palate it has delicate red-fruit flavors, refreshing acidity and a crisp finish.

This is not only a really good rosé wine, it’s also a tremendous value since one box is equivalent to four bottles of wine.

ABV: 12.7%, Residual Sugar: <2.0 g/l, pH: 3.43, Total Acidity: 5.5 g/l
