‘Chiu’ Rosato, Il Civettaio
£16.95
Il Civettaio is a beautiful organic farm set in the wild countryside of the Maremma region of Tuscany. Owner Gregorio does everything by hand and makes wines that really express his passion and the land from which they come. Tiny production from a lovingly tended estate.
This Rose, named after the noise the little owls make around the vineyards, is pale and elegant but with more character than many Provence wines, this stands up to stronger flavoured foods. If you were to grill some big juicy prawns that were marinated in garlic, chilli and olive oil (also from Civettaio!?), then you would pretty much be in heaven!
‘Larrosa’ Rioja Rosado, Izadi
£14.95

The hillside winery (whose precipitous slope allows for gravity assisted production) was founded in 1987 by Gonzalo Antón as a modern breakaway from the traditional style of wine produced by other members of his family.This Rose is stunning! Similar to top Provence Rose in style but perhaps slightly fruitier (and great value); elegant and beautifully packaged, this is juicy and delicious.The perfect garden wine, with enough flavour to stand up to some spice and lots of garlic. Prawns, cold meats, picnics...
