Our Buyer’s Review
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.
