This Aglianico-based rosé wine shows a dark ruby or raspberry color. The 2017 Rosato Il Rogito opens to a touch of volatile acidity or perhaps over-oxygenation that turns up the volume on the wine's raw and somewhat rustic aromas of plum, cassis and red apple. It ages in oak for 12 months. This vintage has some minor flaws that distract from the overall harmony of the wine. Some 35,000 bottles were made.

The 2014 Rosato Il Rogito shows the latitude and versatility that can be achieved with Aglianico. It offers great value too. This is a ruby colored wine with a dark pink hue that is a few grades lighter than a Pinot Noir. The wine presents a berry-heavy bouquet that sees wild strawberry and raspberry in a leading role. Bitter almond and menthol tones appear delicately tucked in at the back. This medium-bodied rosé reveals bright acidity and a subtle hint of tannic structure.

The 2013 Rosato Il Rogito is the latest edition in one of the most successful lines of rosé wine to come from the deep south of Italy. Il Rogito opens to a dark raspberry color and shows openly sweet tones of wild berry, red currant and dried cherry. In terms of rosé, this expression adopts a bigger style both in terms of mouthfeel, structure and persistency. The grape used here is Aglianico and that explains the wine's broad shoulders. You can pair it with white meat, cod fish or spicy Indian food.
