Le Pianelle 2023 'Al Posto dei Fiori' Rosato, Coste della Sesia DOC

The 2023 Rosato Al Posto dei Fiori is flat-out delicious. Presenting a blush-red color in the glass, it emanates the essence of ripe red cherry, almond, sweet flowers and orange oil. The 2023 zips across the palate like a jet ski, leaving behind a wake of salty minerality, crushed seashell scents and vivid, energetic berry fruit flavors. There's a hint of spritziness here—whether intentional or not, that contributes to the freshness factor. Continuing to evolve in the glass and reveal more and more charming layers, this is surely one of the most distinctive rosés out of Italy, or anywhere, in 2023.
