The Novello rosé is made from Sangiovese and Pinot Noir, and is an enticing and cohesive mix of flavour and texture. It shows plenty of strawberries and cream, some rosewater and pink musk sticks. Raspberry, almond and a brisk lashing of acidity complete the picture. Serious stuff.

Origin: The spiritual home of rosé is Provence, in Southern France. Mainly Grown In: Rosé is found all over the world these days, but coastal regions are especially well suited to the growing of red grapes for rosé. Key Facts: Rosé is predominantly made from red grape varieties. The colour in wine is actually from pigments found in the skins of the grapes, so even red grapes have clear-coloured juice. The colour is then ‘bled’ out of the skins by infusing the skins into the juice. So for rosé, the wine simply spends far less time hanging out with the skins! Rarely you will find a rosé that is a combo of white and red grapes – they’re not ‘less good’, just less common. Rosé is super versatile – it suits any occasion. Best to always have a bottle in the fridge, just in case, you know… Wednesday happens or something. Fun Fact: When the weather is cooler but you still feel like a glass of rosé (and to be honest, who doesn't), look out for wines with a deeper shade - they'll often pack a bit more a punch and be better suited to the chilly weather.
