BASIL’S ANNUAL SPRING ROSATO TASTING:

Anthony Verdoni Says:
“Sorry Getrude, but all rosé wines are not created equal, nor do they have a single essence. There are, however, striking commonalities. Salvador Dali rightly called them Wines of Dawn. They reflect sunlight on a summer morning, with the sun cutting the dew with its rosy fingers. They are wines of beauty and color which do not promise more than they produce. Buy them young. Drink them young. But, please, buy them and drink them. They deserve attention. They grace almost any dish. The axiom “Red with meat, white with fish, rosé with everything” is very close to the truth. Chilled, youthful rosé wines match up to modern healthy food choices, such as salads and sushi. They are outdoor wines, ideal for barbeque and al fresco dining. They are perfect by and in themselves, and they cry out for friendship.”

The weather is warming up and it’s Rosato season. All over the Italian Coast, everyone is drinking Rosato! Pink is the hottest color of wine in Italy this season. Come let us change your mind from the White Zinfandel days of the 80′s. Five great producers, five great rosati at incredible prices.
