2024 Costa di Rose, Umberto Cesari Riedel Glassware For when: the music fades

For when: the music fades

and a hint of dried orange peel

brooding and gloriously mature

Intertwined and balanced oak sits in the background bringing complexing nougat and nutty notes

the grapes were dried for five weeks before slow fermentation and ageing in underground cement tanks

2024 Costa di Rose, Umberto Cesari Riedel Glassware For when: the music fadesRose Gold Emilia Pale, bright and quietly elegant, Costa di Rose shows Sangiovese in a wonderfully graceful ros form. Wild strawberry, pink cherry and pomegranate rise first, followed by a soft floral note and a subtle citrus lift that keeps everything fresh and finely drawn. The palate is crisp and refreshing, but not slight, carrying a lovely line of red fruit and a faint savoury twist that gives the wine shape and character. There is charm here
