GD Vajra’s 2023 Rosabella is a ‘gorgeous’ (Vinous) blend of Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto. Blood orange and rose petal meet tart cherries and a delicate, smoothly tannic palate.

Dedicated to their nonna, Pio Cesare’s Rosy Langhe Rosato 2023 is a brilliant Nebbiolo-based rosato with a touch of Syrah. It shows pomegranate, red cherries, dried roses and zesty citrus on the nose, leading to a creamy, well-structured palate and a salty finish.

Finally, from vineyards around the largest active volcano in Europe, Terre Nere’s Etna Rosato 2023 is a masterclass in a bottle. Made from Nerello Mascalese grapes, it’s deeply textural, mineral and saline with beautiful aromatics of flowers, wild strawberries and tangerine. This limited wine was only going to be released in Italy, but we’ve managed to secure a handful of cases. ‘Don’t miss it!’ urges Vinous.
