Casale Delle Campore Rosato Toscana Sangiovese (DON"T USE)

A liter of Maremma sunshine in a crown-capped bottle. The Casale delle Campore label was created for — and with — a key New York importer, produced by Anna Maria Cruciata at Val di Toro, her certified organic estate on the coast of Tuscany (organic since 2004, certified 2015). Estate Sangiovese is spontaneously fermented with only brief skin contact — just enough to extract the "flower of the must" — then vinified in cement vats for about five months before release. The color is a luminous coral pink, and the aromas run to strawberry, orange blossom, melon, and crushed stone, with a dry, lively, mineral-driven palate.
