Ippolito Mabilia Rosato Rose is a testament to the finesse that can be achieved when Calabrian winemaking tradition meets the Gaglioppo grape, a varietal indigenous to the region. This rosé wine captures the essence of its terroir with an elegant ballet of aromatics and flavors. On the nose, it presents a bouquet where delicate hints of cherry blossom and ripe red berries pirouette with subtle notes of Mediterranean herbs, reflecting the sun-drenched climes from which they hail. The palate is greeted with a harmonious blend of freshness and structure, showcasing a crisp acidity that dances gracefully alongside soft tannins, culminating in a finish that is both refreshing and enduring.

The Ippolito Mabilia Rosato Rose’s allure lies not only in its sensory profile but also in its versatility. Its vinification process carefully preserves the character of Gaglioppo grapes while allowing for an expression that pairs splendidly with an array of culinary delights—from seafood antipasti to light pasta dishes. The wine’s alluring pink hue is achieved through limited skin contact during fermentation, ensuring that each sip carries just enough depth without overwhelming the senses.
