Incredibly deep ruby in color, this Rosato displays ripe cherries, offset by tangerine, rose petals, and exotic spice. Soft textures lead in to a pure expression of floral-laced red fruits and minerals, finishing fresh but also showing a youthful structure. This is really quite stunning. $23.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2020)

Jul 7th, 2020The 2019 Bonavita Rosato is an incredibly deep ruby color, so much so that you might mistake it for a red. On the nose, I’m finding an alluring mix of crushed cherries, offset by tangerine, rose petals, and the slightest hint of exotic savory spice. On the palate, soft textures usher in a remarkably pure expression of floral-laced red fruits and minerals, as it seems to hover across the senses over a core of vibrant acidity with hints of ginger and a gentle tug of tannin. The long finish is fresh but also showing a youthful structure, leading me to believe that this might be even better if given some time to unwind in the cellar. This blend of Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, and Nocera is really quite stunning. (Eric Guido, Vinous, May 2020)

Oct 19th, 2020Quite interesting. A darker rose. Palate and fruit reflects that - richer fruit (strawberries) and decent tannins. High acidity. Not a great nose. Heavy al note. But doesn’t really impact the quality. I like it. Would buy again.

Aug 13th, 2020Upon first opening notes of green olive. Once it blows off it opens up to ripe pomegranate and black cherry. Secondary notes of wet ash, more pomegranate, and lastely dried herbs. Which follows onto the palate as well. Beautiful pale ruby hue. With low acidity and light tannin.
