Tenuta Sant'Antonio - Scaia Rosato Veneto IGT 2018 |
Vinous Media: 91 Points
Very pale, luminous onion peel pink. Wisteria, fennel, raspberry, and violet on the refined nose. Then surprisingly big and tactile on entry, but with a whiplash of harmonious acidity providing noteworthy clarity and cut to the surprisingly rich peach, raspberry, and red cherry flavors. Finishes with lingering hints of apricot, rosehip, sage, and saliva-inducing salinity. A beauty that is also a rare 100% Rondinella. Very well done.
Bursting with gorgeous fruit flavors of summer in a glass is this unique Rosato from the Veneto. Made from 100% Rondinella, what you get in the is pure rose petals, tangerine, strawberry, and a crisp fruity finish. This is a wine to eat from crabcakes to salads, to…you name it!
