We meet so many wine lovers that are anti-rosé, but we're pretty sure there's a rosato out there for you. Italy offers such a wide range of rosés that it's the perfect stomping ground for newbies.

Rosé all day! The time has come to stock up on rosato for the Summer. This Lagrein based rosé is dry and elegant without being too fruit forward.
