Details
The ‘Circles’ Rosato from Tenuta Viglione is sourced from Primitivo, the local red variety, which has produced a perfect summer rosé. The wine sits in the glass like fresh watermelon juice and this suggestion continues with cranberry and watermelon fruit notes with a nice touch of sweetness to boot.

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: As rosé lovers themselves — though no longer lovers of each other — Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie purchased vineyards and started their own rosé project in Southern France. To date, their rosé holds the record for the highest-fetched price for a magnum of their pink juice, $4,112 AUD.

Pairing guide
Italy’s Puglia region is known worldwide for the quality of its wines, and this beautiful rosato is a testament to the terroir and skill of the winemakers alike. Made with natural methods, it’s an expressive number ideal for punchy dishes of curried fish, grilled white meats, pork chops with capers, parsley and lemon, and all kinds of simple pasta dishes with buttery sauces or fresh tomatoes. Grilled veal, vegetarian burgers and pork sausages on the barbecue would also be highly recommended here.

Wine region
Puglia, Italy
Puglia is a wine region in the "heel" of Italy that is known for its red, white, and rosé wines. The full-bodied red wines are often made with Negroamaro and Primitivo grapes, while the whites are usually made with Verdeca and Fiano grapes. Puglia has a hot, sunny climate which helps the grapes ripen fully and gives the wines a rich flavour. The region is also home to some unique grape varieties, like Nero di Troia and Bombino Nero. So, if you're a fan of Italian wine, definitely give Puglia a try! Historically Puglia has been better known for its quantity of wine over its quality. But thanks to a number of quality-focused producers, the region is turning that narrative around.
