Wine: Italy’s rosatos

If you’ve never explored Italy’s pink wines, now might be the time, said Elin McCoy in Bloomberg.com. Prices on French rosé have been pushed up by the Trump administration’s 25 percent tariffs, and Italy’s rosatos are more diverse, often offering “savory, cherry, and herb flavors that will still be delicious on the table long after Labor Day.” 2018 Leone di Castris Five Roses Rosato ($14). This “grandfather of Italian rosés,” first made in 1943, “boasts scents of wildflowers and bright, crushed-raspberry flavors.” 2019 Attems Rosé Pinot Grigio Ramato ($15). This “rich, spicy” ramato, made in Friuli from pinot grigio grapes, “shows off mineral tones and a slightly bitter aftertaste.” It’s “superb with food.” 2019 Tiberio Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo ($20). Made from red montepulciano grapes, this fuchsia-colored pour is “almost like a light red”— “smoky, savory, and silky textured, with tart cherry-raspberry flavors.”
