Tasting notes:
How refreshing to find a really fine rosé from somewhere other than France, and without relying on the staple grape of peachy-tasting pink wines: Grenache. This excellent example from Sicily, made by one of the island’s most famous names, Planeta, uses the native grape of Nero d’Avola with Syrah to yield a rosé with a lovely mix of white-fleshed cherry, a touch of peach, then blood orange and a gently tangy note of bitter lemon.
