"Poured blind, you could easily convince me that the 2024 Rosado Montecastrillo is a Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo—it shares the same juiciness, concentration, lift and energy that make the Cerasuolo style so compelling. Here, 100% Tempranillo yields a purplish-red-hued wine of spicy depth, lifted potpourri aromatics and layers of fresh, mouthwatering dark berry fruit. Curvaceous and pliant, this is just do delicious. That's all there is to it."
