Chivite Gran Feudo Rosé 2009 13.0% alcohol about $10

Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials. Tasting Note: Clear medium pink color ; strawberry with a touch of citrus aromas ; dry, medium body ; fresh fruit flavors, medium finish. Serving Suggestion: enjoy with tapas on the patio.

At the first sips this wine was sweet with refreshing acidity and tasted of strawberries. The initial meal centered on fried, breaded turkey breast. The rosé was fruit-forward and mouth cleansing. With the side of squash it was nicely round and provided strawberries and raspberries. Fresh strawberries for dessert made the wine lose its edge and become metallic.
