It's another home run vintage for Vallevo's delicious and incredibly affordable rosato. We just bought enough to fill a small swimming pool. Back up the truck on this one folks!
Last year's release scored 90 points with Vinous Media, and I like the new vintage just as much. Serious value here, don't buy just 1 bottle. Trust me!
2024 Vallevo Rosato Costa Dei Trabocchi Rosato
One of the great dry rose values in the world!
100% Montepulciano from vineyards near the Trabocchi Coast of Abruzzo, I am predicting this will be our top-selling dry rose of 2025. With lots of warm and sunny days of ahead of this in these old and beautiful mountains, this is what you want in your glass. Trust me!
Importer Mike Tiano of the Haw River Wine Man consistently outdoes himself finding exceptional and exciting values. Being that they are a North Carolina-based importer and distributor, we are able to buy at a lower, direct-import price. I just didn't want you all thinking I was hawking some cheap, sweet, and insipid pink wine. You know I wouldn't do that!
We have bought and loved the past seven vintages of this wine, but the new release is one of the best versions this quality-minded cooperative has ever produced. Flowing with zippy and zesty notes of strawberry, watermelon, raspberry, blood orange, and green herbs, this smells and tastes like a much pricier dry rose. Dry, wonderfully aromatic, and finishing with a kiss of sea salt, it just keeps you coming back for sip after sip.
I've been tasting a ton of wines recently, and I love finding great little values like this one. I'll wrap it up by saying this is just DANG DELICIOUS! Cheers and keep drinking the good stuff in the AVL!
