The Fantini Group, ‘Best Producer in Italy’ in 2017 and 2020 (Mundus Vini Wine awards) has introduced two of its finest rosés from the Abruzzo region of Italy: the Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo and Calalenta.

Imported and distributed by Mumbai-based Monika Enterprises, both wines are one of a kind, being the only Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo in the Indian market and the Calalenta the only Italian made Merlot rosé in the country.

With a truly short skin contact, Cerasuolo is made purely from Montepulciano d’Abruzzo grapes and still wears the pale cherry red colour. Its freshness and round structure are accompanied by a bouquet of berry scents. It pairs well with Asian and Italian cuisine.

The other ‘Provence style’ rosé is made from grapes hand-picked at night (Calalenta). It has refreshing acidity with aromas of strawberry, fresh watermelons and rose petals, and a long and intense finish. The Calalenta is perfect for vegetarian dishes, raw fish and Japanese cuisine.
