Rosati: elegance, freshness, and versatility
The rosé wines of the Rosati collection from Italian Wine Selection tell one of the most refined and versatile expressions of Italian wine. Made from black grape varieties with a very short maceration, they combine the aromatic vivacity of whites with the chromatic and taste finesse of the most delicate reds. The result is an ideal selection for those seeking immediate but never trivial wines, perfect from informal tables to more curated occasions.
On this page, you will find labels that span many wine-growing areas of Italy: from Campania to Tuscany, from Abruzzo to Puglia, up to Sicily, Piedmont, and Trentino-Alto Adige. A variety that reflects the great richness of Italian rosé, with different styles but united by balance, drinkability, and personality.
Territories and styles to discover
The collection includes very recognizable denominations and interpretations, such as Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo, Salento IGP, Rosato dell’Etna, Tuscan rosés, and those from Campania. Among the labels present, standout wines include Tramari from San Marzano, Calafuria from Tormaresca Antinori, Sul Vulcano from Donnafugata, Alie Rosè from Frescobaldi, and the Rosè Brut Metodo Classico Tradizionale, confirming a range that includes both still wines and rosé sparkling wines.
Each area brings a precise identity to the glass: Abruzzese rosés tend to offer structure and intensity, Pugliese ones express fruit and smoothness, while Sicilian and Campanian rosés often show a pleasant mineral tension and a marked aromatic definition. The classic method versions add finesse, perlage, and greater complexity.
Grapes, aromatic profiles, and pairings
Among the grape varieties present in the selection are Montepulciano, Primitivo, Aglianico, Syrah, Pinot noir, and various territorial blends. This translates into rosés with different nuances: from crunchy fruitiness to sharper spiciness, up to finer and more vertical profiles. In general, rosés are very versatile wines at the table and pair easily with appetizers, delicate cold cuts, fried foods, vegetables, flavorful fish dishes, white meats, and Mediterranean cuisine.
They are also an excellent choice for aperitifs, especially when one desires a wine that is more structured than a white but less demanding than a red. The fresher versions are perfect with raw dishes and light preparations, while the more intense rosés, such as some Cerasuolo or Aglianico Rosato, pair well with dishes of a more decisive character.
Wineries and Italian selection
The collection highlights reference producers such as Donnafugata, Antinori, Frescobaldi, San Marzano, and Tormaresca Antinori, along with other highly interesting interpreters. It is a selection designed for those who want to explore Italian rosé in all its nuances, from the most immediate labels to the more sought-after and gastronomic ones.
