Sangiovese is a simply wonderful match for food….how to make it better? Why not with making it as rosé?!

Yalumba, The Y Series, Rosé, Sangiovese, South Australia, 2018

The colour a light dusky salmon, no were as lurid as the bottle image suggests. Fruit driven aromas with guava, cranberry, cherry, blood orange and pink grapefruit. A little wet leaf matter also. Blood orange comes through on the palate along with a light ginger beer kick before a fine, tight finish. Pleasant, if somewhat simple: made for summer lunches.
