Rosé di Morgante

Rosé di Morgante

Wine Description

After accumulating generations of grape-growing expertise, the Morgante family started bottling their own wine under the guidance of Riccardo Cotarella in the mid-1990s. Situated in the western reaches of Sicily, where Nero d’Avola reaches optimal ripeness levels, Morgante has crafted this beautiful 100% estate-grown Nero d'Avola wine. 

Rose di Morgante is bright and fresh. Ideal as an aperitif, enhances raw whitefish, and any kind of Mediterranean salad.

Acclaim
“Aromas and flavors of cherries and watermelon with some citrus and pumice. Medium-bodied, fresh and layered. Creamy.”
— James Suckling, Aug 2022
“The 2021 Rosè di Morgante, a Nero d'Avola Rosato, is sweetly perfumed with hints of toffee and butter cream giving way to freshly-sliced pears. It fleshes out across the palate with round textures contrasted by a buzzing of stimulating acidity. All the while there’s a confectionery note that carries from the nose through the finish, as the Rose' di Morgante finishes crisp and clean.”
— Vinous, May 2022
