Here is a saucy style of Rosé that pops dry and refreshing. I haven’t experienced many pink wines made from the Montepulciano grape, and it makes me wonder why I haven’t seen more of them. Zippy cherry, watermelon and citrus notes get a nice texture to travel on, and a little tannic grip extends the finish. If you can find it, don’t hesitate.
