Looks like a Provence wine but is not. Emilia Romagna is the region, Umberto Cesari the winemaker, Costa di Rose is this beautiful wine.
Costa di Rose is Sangiovese 100% from a Clayey soil vineyard in the centre of the Italy. After a soft press of the grapes the must goes into the stainless steel tanks for fermentation. When the fermentation is finished the wine will be kept for 6 month in stainless steel thanks.
The result is an harmonious, unique and elegant wine with an intense hint of red fruit.
Ideal as aperitif but perfect with fish based dishes.

The first to be certified as a ”National Integrated Production Quality System”(SQNPI) for the production of grapes and wines in the Emilia Romagna region. All the practices adopted aiming to preserve the land and the vines.
Sangiovese Rose
Italy’s top grape variety is one of the most under-appreciated and undervalued rosé grapes. In Italy, they’re usually labeled as “rosato” which is the Italian way of saying “pink.”
Sweet cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, allspice, clove and cumin. Italian Sangiovese is a burst of red fruits that are complimented with subtle meaty spice notes.
The grape is bold enough as a variety to handle a variety of foods that normally would be problematic to pair with wine. The Sangiovese rose will pair wonderfully with rich Chinese food dishes, Thai Curries and, of course, Italian favourites such as caprese salad and prosciutto.
