Azienda Agricola Diubaldo is located near Teramo, Abruzzo, Italy – just north of where we travelled in August 2022, and to the east of the Grand Sasso d’Italia, aka the Apennines (right).

They produce some pretty awesome certified organic wines from their 15 hectares which, if you can get a hold of them, will captivate you with their fresh and clean aromas and flavours.

This rosé is gorgeous and ballsy.  Make no mistake; this is not your poolside sipper.  There is nothing flimsy or weak about it.

Strong red cherry, tart strawberry and pomegranate rest on soft tannins and a solid structural base of green leaf, mint and watermelon rind.  It hits hard and pretty.

If you are holding any, let it warm slightly when you serve it to fully appreciate all its nuance.  Amazing.
