Ben says
★★ Great Wine “Every good rosé should start off proceedings with the pleasant aroma of summer berries, mandarin orange and blossom that Waitrose’s Loved and Found Susumaniello delivers. If you can manage that word salad of a grape variety, it’ll become your new favourite for pink wines. This is so much more interesting than most of the Provence wines I’ve tasted all year. Juicy, textured and tangy with a bittersweet pink grapefruit note on the finish. Don’t even get me started on how much of a steal it is for the price!“
KEY POINTS
Varietal Susumaniello with 12.5% abv.
Grown in: Puglia, ITALY.
Food Pairing
I actually drank this with a homemade veggie biryani and it sung like a star. It’ll also work beautifully with Bari style focaccia, which is flavoured with sweet small cherry tomatoes and oregano. Drizzle it with olive oil and introduce some cold cuts and you’ll have the taste of summer all year round.
