2020 Babo Rosato, Tuscany

The youngest member of Famiglia Babo, this Tuscan rosato is crafted from 100% Sangiovese sourced from a vineyard near Vinci, on the western flank of the Chianti region. The soils are alberese—compact clay and limestone.
 
Very pale, dry and savoury in style, the wine had between just two and four hours of skin contact before being fermented and raised for six months in concrete tank. With barely a gram of residual sugar, it’s an uber-dry, textural and crisp Italian rosé with tangy, sour cherry fruit, fresh hints of fennel and a vibrant close.
