Chiaretto Roundup

My WINE OF THE DAY: 2021 MONTE DEL FRA Ridiculously light, barely any rosy glow from the almost-yellow glass. Gorgeous vegetal–quite green and briary–knocking on Sancerre-territory in delicious herbal vibrance. Beautiful melon and pear perfectly in par on the palate, tannin casting itself into the fore-front of fruit in achingly dry style. NOT FOR EVERYONE, but quite possibly one of the most…

Coloring Outside the Lines

Continuing on with my New World/Old World rosé-grab from the cellar, these two are very different from not only what I typically drink–Grenache rosé–but also worlds apart from each other. The Corvina Chiaretto is a serious *naturaler wine*, and comes of far more like an orange wine in color, smell, and profile. I know *orange wine* and *rosé* is a fine line to tread–categorically linked by…

Grazie

These Corvinas are amazing wines, impossibly full of flavor in a delicate package, Alpine-shrill and Veneto-round, they pack SO MUCH GOOD STUFF into an inexpensive bottle nearly unknown in the United States. This particular organic, native-yeast one is ridiculously Grenache-like in appearance, smell and taste. An easy garnet lightness with a rosy core fills the glass. Full, ripe cherry in the…

Perfect Strangers

Hot hot HOT here on the coast in California this weekend and rosé sounded like the name of the game. Couple little bottles jumped out at me, again: an American and a Euro.

I crammed my nose into the pink one first, and OH BOY. What a stinky little nose. And not so little. Funky and dank and barnyardy, old veggies in teh bottom crisper drawer and a petrol elevation of the deep watermelon fruit.…

Not Sisters

Coupla odd birds here rampin up #roséseason headed into a beautiful Memorial Day weekend (I honestly didn’t realize this until today). A Flame Tokay from a new producer highlighting some of the forgotten historical varieties of California winemaking legacy in modern, clean versions, and a Corvina from Bardolino, which has taken great strides lately to streamline rosé production away from classical

Crew Bardolino

Sometimes slightly before the turn of the LAST century, the wines from the eastern shore of Lake Garda in Veneto became known as Bardolino. This is Corvina country, and it is the dominant variety in not only the Chiaretto rosé, but the DOC and Bardolino Crus and of course the–probably a bit better known–Valpolicella a little further east. Tucked up against the foothills of the southern Alps, and…
