2025 Feudo Arancio Rosato, Sicily

If any place has a climate that makes enjoying Rosé a must, alongside Australia, it is surely Sicily. Under Diam. An attractive pale pink, there is good energy here. The nose reveals aromas of strawberries, rose petals, spices and herbs, and an array of florals. Juicy acidity provides energy and freshness and there is no lack of flavour here. The wine has excellent length. This is a really good Rosé and great value. Drink this over the next three years. For me, a small step up from the previous vintage (not that I didn’t like it, as well). Drink to 2029.

Light-medium pink, a hint of acetone on the first sniff, is outgunned quickly by red fruits and spices, the palate amping up the red berry theme with intensity and cleansing tannin grip. Juicy fruits in the middle and overall a very tasty rosé. But it probably shouldn't be kept longer. Drink now.

Feudo Arancio has become one of Sicily's most popular producers, crafting wines that consistently deliver exceptional quality and value. Drawing on sustainably managed vineyards and the island's ideal Mediterranean climate, the winery produces vibrant, fruit driven wines that capture the warmth, freshness and unmistakable character of Sicily. This Rosato is a bright, refreshing expression of the island's easy going lifestyle.

The vineyards benefit from long sunny days, cooling sea breezes and well drained soils that allow the fruit to ripen evenly while retaining lively natural acidity. The excellent 2025 vintage has produced a Rosato with vibrant aromatics, crisp freshness and a beautifully balanced palate, making it equally suited to relaxed afternoons or long lunches with friends.

The colour is a delicate pale salmon pink. Aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry and watermelon are lifted by pink grapefruit, rose petals and a hint of Mediterranean herbs. The palate is fresh and silky, with bright berry fruit, juicy citrus and refreshing acidity complemented by a subtle mineral note. The finish is dry, vibrant and lingering, leaving an impression of freshness that invites another glass.

Delicious with grilled prawns, seafood pasta, charcuterie, watermelon and feta salad, wood fired pizza or simply enjoyed as an aperitif. Best served well chilled while its lively fruit, crisp acidity and youthful vibrancy are at their peak.
