Country: Italy / Il Rogito Rosato
Variety: Aglianico Southern Italy
Winery: Cantine del Notaio / Basilicata
Not everyone will love this Aglianico-based rosé from volcanic soils in Basilicata, but most will find its sweet marzipan aromas quite attractive. In fact, rarely does a wine embody the essences of almond paste more faithfully: It tastes ripe and sweet and has a firm backbone. A Marc de Grazia selection, various American importers.
