Torre Quarto Rosé


Name of Wine: Guappo Rosé

Type of Wine: rosé blend

Vintage: 2004

Winery/Vineyard: Torre Quart; Puglia, Italy

Description: Made from blend of Sangiovese, Montepulciano, Uva di Troia and Primitivo grapes. Slightly dry, but still refreshing. Very flavorful, with fruity, floral bouquet. Works fine for barbecue and Mediterranean - and supposedly seafood(according to store).

Comments: The first rosé to convince me what this style is all about. Great for a hot day, I'd definitely bring this to any picnic or barbecue. I detect tannin, though that could just be me. Amy isn't as enamored as I am, but finds it drinkable.
