best rose' in italy 2017

Thrilled to announce now that our Sicilian Etna Rosato has been voted 'Best Rosé in Italy 2017'. 
What is it?

• Arthouse Wine’s Etna Rosato is a rosé wine from the Piano dei Daini vineyard in Sicily and has recently been voted ‘Best Rosé in Italy 2017’ at the Gambero Rosso annual review and selection of Italy’s best wines Vini d’Italy  in July 2017.
• This rosé, a light copper colour, reveals the character and strength of its terroir. It has excellent minerality and an earthy nuance; notes of raspberries, strawberries and roses. It is an elegant, well-balanced wine. 

Why do I need to know about it?

• Etna Rosato is a rosé wine from the slopes of Mount Etna, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, in Sicily.
• It comes from one of the ‘coolest’ wine hotspots in the world.
• This would have had the kudos of a Bordeaux or a Burgundy twenty years ago.
• Vines grown on the lava-layered slopes of a volcano are packed full of incomparable and unique minerals from thousands of years of eruptions.
• It is made of 100% Nerello Mascalese, the ‘in’ grape of the moment and the one that “gets serious winos going” (to quote The Telegraph’s Victoria Moore).
• It could be considered the Pinot Noir of Italy.
• Only 3000 bottles produced (and counting down, as we speak).

Where can I get it?

• Online from us at Arthouse Wine: Etna Rosato at £22.00 a bottle or from the Piano dei Daini vineyard on the slopes of Etna at Passopisciaro. Easiest to go through Arthouse Wine as we can deliver it straight to your house. Buy it as a case of 2, 6 or as featured in several of our Case Offers.

What can I eat with it?

• Spaghetti with small, squishy tomatoes, lots of garlic, capers and ‘poor man’s parmesan’ (crispy, fried breadcumbs).
• Grilled smokey aubergines layered with smoked mozzarella and fresh tomato ragù.
• Whole roasted fish with herbs and lemon.
