Bright and breezy, this rosé is built for aperitivo hours and warm afternoons, offering a crisp, mouthwatering glide across the palate. At 0.12 ABV, it leans on freshness over heft, typically crafted via brief skin contact and cool fermentation in stainless steel to preserve purity, then bottled young for vibrancy. From Italy, it captures a coastal, Mediterranean lift that keeps each sip lively.
Expect lively notes of wild strawberry, pink grapefruit, and white peach, with hints of citrus blossom and a light saline snap. Its clean acidity and subtle savory edge make Shrimp shine, accenting sweetness and brine, while the bright fruit and dryness cut through Prosciutto’s silky salt and fat for a balanced, satisfying pairing.
Producer Information: Banfi
Banfi is based in Montalcino, Tuscany, with its estate centered around the medieval Castello di Poggio alle Mura. Founded in 1978 by the Mariani family with winemaker Ezio Rivella, the company grew as an estate-driven project focused on Sangiovese in varied soils and elevations. Its production approach blends vineyard zoning and clonal selection research with temperature-controlled fermentations and maturation in a calibrated mix of large Slavonian oak and French barriques. The estate follows sustainability practices that emphasize biodiversity, water stewardship, and precision viticulture across extensive vineyards and woodlands, complemented by a modern, quality-certified cellar.
Beyond its flagship reds, Banfi crafts a wide portfolio that spans Tuscany and Piedmont. In Tuscany it bottles Super Tuscan blends such as Summus, Excelsus, and Cum Laude, along with Vermentino La Pettegola, San Angelo Pinot Grigio, and the Moscadello di Montalcino dessert style. Banfi Piemonte in Strevi produces sparkling wines like Cuvée Aurora Alta Langa and the aromatic Rosa Regale Brachetto d’Acqui, plus classic Piedmontese styles. The house also offers estate olive oil and grape-based spirits, including Grappa di Brunello and other marc distillates that echo its vineyard sourcing.

Rosé & Blush wines are characterized by their pink hue, which is achieved through limited skin contact with red grape varieties during fermentation. These wines can be further categorized into Rosé Sparkling Wine, made from grapes like Pinot Noir and Grenache, and Blush Sparkling Wine, typically produced from Zinfandel and Merlot. Both styles offer a refreshing alternative to traditional white or red wines, appealing to those who enjoy a balance of fruitiness and acidity.
Rosé Sparkling Wines often feature flavor notes of red berries such as strawberry and raspberry, complemented by citrus zest and floral hints. They can range in sweetness from Brut Nature to Demi-Sec, making them versatile for various occasions. In contrast, Blush Sparkling Wines tend to lean towards off-dry or semi-sweet profiles with flavors of watermelon and peach. Both types pair beautifully with a variety of dishes; Rosé complements seafood and light salads while Blush enhances spicy Asian cuisine or barbecue fare.
