La Spinetta Il Rose di Casanova 2023
91 Points, Vinous
This is the best Italian Rosé I’ve had so far in 2024. It’s a Goldilocks Rosé – not too light, not too heavy, but just right. Juicy and fruity, with great natural acidity and mouthwatering macerated cherry notes. This is a fleshy, racy version no doubt due in large part to the Sangiovese, but it also has such a great acidic backbone to hold everything in place. This is a treat with food or on its own in a big glass – she’s a beauty!

“The 2023 Il Rosé di Casanova is exotic and distinctive. Almost Sauvignon-Blanc-like in character, it fleshes out with kiwi, gooseberry, grapefruit, thyme, and tomato leaf notes. Bright, fleshy, and lightly grippy, it leaves the mouth absolutely dried out with bitterness (in a good way), demanding another sip. A tropical-inflected hint of mango and papaya sticks around after the finish.”
Surprisingly, this gem comes from Tuscany, not typically known for fantastic Rosés. It’s crafted from Sangiovese and Prugnolo Gentile (a more tannic Sangiovese sibling), creating a vibrant and crisp profile.
The vineyard and winegrowing process are what truly set this Rose apart. You have the perfect terroir for Rose, with sandy ocean soil, 20+ year-old vines at 300 meters elevation, and ideal Southeast sun exposure. Then you have 100% organic practices around the estate.
Then there’s the hand harvesting and the Sangiovese grapes that are left on the skins for an hour to give it that brilliant dark pink hue and abundance of personality.
