Poggio Anima Raphael Rosato 2022 750ml

Raphael is known as the “patron saint of travelers and ‘happy meetings’.” There are not many wines more fitting to drink while one travels nor to share in happy meetings than a chilled glass of rosé. It is known that Italian rosés (read rosato) are often heavy handed and dark in color. This strays from that summation and brings a touch of the Côte d’Azur to Sicily. The varietal make-up of this wine changes every vintage, but it always remains in the same quaffable style. The 2022 vintage is 80% Zibibbo from Castellammare and 20% Syrah from Salemi at almost 1000 feet above sea level.
