Fed up with weak and watery rose and off-dry blush and want a damn fine pink wine that will delight the pickiest palate, stand up to food and quaff down a treat. bingo! I've found it.
From the stunning beautiful and highly awarded Valle Reale Winery in Abruzzo, Italy comes some of Italy's finest Montepulcianos. The reds, rated with 3 glasses in the Italian wine bible the Gamero Rosso and lauded abroad, they have pulled this little beauty out of the bag.
The Valle Reale Vigne Nuove Cerasuolo 2008, their 100% Montepulciano rose is just what the doctor ordered. Wonderfully succulent wild berry fruits cradled in a creamy vanilla blanket fill the senses. This richness gives it weight and depth to stand up to the most brazen barbeque king (BBQ ribs would match up a treat), while the zippy acidity keeps it alive, fresh and vibrant in your mouth, perfect for keeping refreshed while the meat cooks.
I'm not the only one rating this wine, wine guru Robert Parker rated this an outstanding 89 points for the 2008 vintage. And all this for under a tenner?? Impossible I hear you cry... well apparently not.
This wine is available at just £9.10 from Novum Wines on-line shop while stocks last.
