Rosie Giovese Vino Rosato

Rosie Giovese Vino Rosato is bone dry but fruity — ripe strawberry, juicy cherry and pomegranate, a note of wisteria, silken texture, crisp clean finish. 12.5%, in a 3-liter box that holds the equivalent of four bottles and keeps for weeks once tapped.

Amy Ezrin trained as an opera singer and lived in Italy for eight years, where she discovered she was a passable singer and an excellent taster; "Sandy Giovese" was the joke alter ego that became a wine brand, and Rosie is the sister bottling. The fruit is organically farmed and harvested by Conti degli Azzoni in the Marche, on the Adriatic.
