Athletes of Wine Alto! Alto!! Rosato is a joyful, punchy little number made from Sangiovese—bright, savoury, and just the right amount of serious. It’s got all those crisp red berry vibes—strawberry, cranberry, a little pomegranate—cut with this zippy acidity and a whisper of herbaceous grip.

750ml

Why you'll love me

It’s a rosato that leans a little more structured than soft, making it perfect with food but also a star all on its own. Super refreshing, super expressive—just a really smart, fun wine that does what this crew does best: keeps things interesting without losing the drinkability.

Location: King Valley, Victoria, Australia
Winemaking / Farming Techniques: Crafted primarily from Sangiovese, this rosato underwent a very light pressing to preserve purity and focus. The wine was aged on lees in old oak barrels to develop layers and savoury complexity. Late in the season, the vines shut down, which kept aromatic compounds in the delicate end of the spectrum. To enhance lift and perfume on the nose and add texture to the palate, a few other varieties were blended in.
Style/Body: Light to medium-bodied with a crisp and refreshing profile.
Notes: Pale copper/pink in colour, the wine offers gentle aromas of redcurrant and fennel seed. The palate is crisp with notes of air-dried ham and bay leaf, complemented by strawberries and cream, bringing a deliciousness to the palate.
Descriptors: Redcurrant, fennel seed, air-dried ham, bay leaf, strawberries and cream, savoury complexity.
Pairing Suggestions: Serve chilled with salads in summer, at room temperature with fish in winter, and with simple pasta dishes all year round.
