Tasted on June 3, 2024. #DailyWine #dnardi #rose #Tuscany #Ampeleia This wine is weird. In a good way. I had to taste it twice because the first time it seemed off (slightly oxydated). But it’s not off. It’s just different. It is a blend of Alicante (Garnacha or Grenanche) and Carignano grapes. Dry rose’ wine,…
