Reviewed May 2019Very pale, luminous onion peel pink. Wisteria, fennel, raspberry and violet on the refined nose. Then surprisingly big and tactile on entry, but with a whiplash of harmonious acidity providing noteworthy clarity and cut to the surprisingly rich peach, raspberry, and red cherry flavors. Finishes with lingering hints of apricot, rosehip, sage and saliva-inducing salinity. A beauty that is also a rare 100% Rondinella. Very well done. (ID)

Although France has virtually cornered most of the rose market, this outstanding new release from one of the top Amarone producers took us completely by surprise at a recent staff tasting. It's elegant and lightly fruited with a fresh snap of acidity and a pleasant undercurrent of saline. And, while excellent with food, it's perfect on its own especially during the warm Summer months.

One of the standout roses of the season this year (and I should know - I buy all the Provence roses for K&L), the Scaia offers lovely notes of peach, ruby grapefruit and salty freshness. It is bright, fresh, fruit-filled but not over-the-top. You might overlook this wine because it's overshadowed by an avalanche of French rose but you would be missing out on a real treat!
