This is a Negroamaro-based rosé that opens to a medium dark raspberry color. The Apollonio 2015 Diciotto Fanali Rosato is aged in acacia wood for 12 months, with the fruit sourced from ancient alberello, or bush-trained vines. This is a mid-weight Rosato with some sticky flavors of raspberry confit and candied almond. The wine's larger frame and footprint would pair nicely with bastoncini di salmone, or fried salmon fish sticks covered in a creamy herb sauce. Some 5,000 bottles were made.
