Rose wines are hugely popular, and Italy produces some of the best. Italian rosé wine is made using primarily red grapes including Sangiovese, Pinot Noir and Montepulciano to name a few. It truly broadens the appeal of rosé as it typically has a deeper color than some of its counterparts, so it can have a more robust flavor palate such as floral notes and red fruit flavors. This style of rosé pairs perfectly well with a variety of light dishes from seafood to vegetable-heavy dishes like pasta primavera. The bright acidity and low alcohol combine for an effortless food pairing that Italian winemakers have perfected over many years.
