G.D. Vajra, Rosabella Rosato, Piemonte, Italy, Nebbiolo/Barbera/Dolcetto, 2024
This rose comes out every spring and sells out by August. Rosabella is as dreamy as the label. The screwcap is not an indicator of the quality, it's a nice bottling choice winemakers make for wines that don’t need to age. I actually love it because it's the perfect wine to throw in a cooler or a tote and take on an adventure: easy to open and easy to reseal if needed. This is a blend of the red grape trilogy that dominates Piedmont: nebbiolo, barbera and dolcetto. The wine is salmon pink, the color has a really vibrant and fresh pop. On the palette it’s sheer elegance and understated freshness. Nothing is out of balance or place in this wine, I love it so much! Take her on an adventure!!
Juicy, crunchy. and bright, this rosé is a perfect aperitif! Notes of strawberry, pomegranate and wild flowers.
Pairing: BLTs; Hot buttered corn on the cob; caprese salad
