La Spinetta Il Rosé di Casanova Toscana IGT 2024
Italy, Tuscany
50% Sangiovese, 50% Prugnolo Gentile
Founded by the Rivetti family, La Spinetta has built its reputation on expressing the character of Italy’s native grape varieties rather than following international trends. At their Tuscan estate in Terricciola, the family farms organically and focuses on low yields, careful vineyard management, and minimal intervention in the cellar. Inspired by the rosés of Provence, they introduced Il Rosé di Casanova with the 2012 vintage, crafting it from Sangiovese and Prugnolo Gentile grown on sandy soils rich in ancient marine sediments.
In the glass, this rosé shows a beautiful pale salmon-pink color. Aromas of fresh red berries, followed by notes of pineapple, pear, and a hint of wild herbs. The palate is bright and easygoing, with juicy fruit flavors balanced by refreshing acidity on the finish. Crisp, flavorful, and drinkable, this is the kind of rosé made for summer evenings and casual gatherings.
