Tasting Notes: The Benvenuto Celeste Rosato is from 100% Nero d'Avola, known locally as Calabrese. This zippy, energetic rosato is incredibly vibrant in the glass, with aromatics that soar like wandering through a strawberry patch. There's a slight hint of mint and the palate reinforces the nose, with touches of raspberry jam and currants.
Estate History: Giovanni Benvenuto has revived his grandfathers vines of native Calabrian white grape variety called Zibbibo di Pizzo which was destined to be extinct. Pizzo is a little sea town known for the famous dessert “Tartufo di Pizzo” and is where Giovanni’s five hectare vineyard sits 900 meters above sea level in one the five provinces in Calabria named Vibo Valentia.
