Happy Summer Winos!
As the days are long and warm we thought July's fight should be something to reflect the mood, and we thought, hmmmm, Rosé (or as the Italians would say, hmmmmm, Rosato)...
Now let's chat about pink wine for a moment. All over Europe people are drinking
wine the color of fresh salmon, raspberries and sunset and not thinking a thing about
it. Why? Because all over Europe pink wine does not even remotely resemble White
Zinfandel. The Frenchies make Rosé from Syrah and Grenache, the Spaniards make it
from Garnacha and Tempranillo and the Italians make it from Sangiovese and other
indigenous grapes and they all sing of the season, the varietal and the terrior.
The process of making Rosé/Rosato allows the juice to just encounter the skins ever
so gently to pick up the hue, but the process also allows for the juice to pick up
a touch of tannin and complexity. So good Rosé/Rosato will provide the clean refreshment
of white wine with the complexity of red wine. Now that's what to drink this summer!
