Debra, 67Wine Rosé Buyer | Elegant and expressive. Produced from 100% Canaiuolo — a traditional red grape grown in the San Gimignano production zone of Tuscany — this distinctive rosé reveals vibrant notes of red berry fruits, citrus, and wild herbs, balanced by savory and mineral notes. Dry and fresh on the palate, medium to full-bodied, with a touch of salinity and a long, refined finish. Versatile and food-friendly. 100% Organic.
Winemaker Description
Elisabetta Fagiuoli and her husband Sergio founded their 50-hectare estate in 1965, on a hillside across the valley from San Gimignano. The vineyards sit on some of the oldest rock in Italy — it is said vines were first planted here by the Etruscans in the 7th century BC. All farming is organic, yields are low, and quality control is ruthless.
This soft and savory rosato is made from 100% hand-harvested Canaiuolo from 65+ year-old vines, undergoing a lengthy fermentation before bottling. Light salmon-pink in the glass with aromas of strawberries, watermelon, and ripe cherry. Crisp and refreshing on the palate with elegant minerality and a lively finish. The perfect aperitif — ideally served in a Champagne flute.
Food Pairings
Grilled salmon, tomato salad, charcuterie, grilled poultry, aged cheeses, farro and borlotti bean soup, and cacciucco (Tuscan seafood stew). Equally perfect on its own as a summer aperitif.

Organically farmed 100% Canaiuolo from 65+ year old vines! Produced and bottled by Elisabetta Fagiuoli (now in her eighties!) in Tuscany. Tart cherry, subtly minerality and salinity, and a plush mouthful while still lean and crisp. A perfect Rose to drink all summer as an aperitif or with dinner.
The estate is located just outside of the famed tower city of San Gimignano on the western border of the Chianti zone in Tuscany. The estate dates back to Roman times and there are stories of the Knights Templar utilizing the property for meetings and ceremonies.
Winemaker notes: "A moment of happiness, far from whites and reds, from labels and conformity: It's the aperitif that opens lines of communication, it's the cup that assuages thirst, a moment of rest and relaxation, to celebrate a baptism, a first communion or a wedding. At Montenidoli, we've selected Canaiuolo, which has the perfumes of white grapes and the color of reds. It's pale rose pink, with the perfumes of the flowers that blossom in the woods in spring, while the calcareous fossil-rich soils offer rich savory flavors and a soft enveloping finish...The perfect aperitif, if possible in a Champagne flute. A delicately colored rosé with floral aromas, full soft flavors, and a savory finish.”
