Faraone, Le Vigne di Faraone, Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo, 2019

Made from a portion of free-run juice drawn from what will become the estate's Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, this rosé is decidedly red-wine coloured. In the mouth it has sweet, ripe tannins which sit behind bold, intense hedgerow fruits and some spice and herbs. This is more like a dialled-down red and deserves to be enjoyed with salumi or other antipasti.
