Complex rose, utterly delicious, heaps of detail and a general sense of wow, drinkability and finesse. A real beauty.

About This Wine
One of the most interesting Rose wines you will ever encounter - lively, floral, intense and with a myriad of flavours.
It's got spice, wild herbs, a lovely fine structure, a savoury rusticity and it evolves in the glass like few Roses ever do.
Produced mostly from the light red grape Freisa, it is named after an ancient Chinese rose called Mutabilis Chinensis, which appears on the label.
A rare cult Rose that is not for the Provence-heads.
About Matunei
A youthful wine label from young couple Alberto and Carla Brignolo based in Alfiano Natta, part of Piemonte’s Monferrato Casalese.
They work exclusively by hand to cultivate naturally, without synthetic chemicals, herbicides, and respect for the vintage and the territory. Growing Freisa, Grignolino, Nebbiolo, and Barbera all native to their region.
Born from the desire to rediscover new forms of sustainable agriculture, and so named because, ‘Matuné’ (little boy) in Piemontese dialect, is the affectionate way in which the old locals call Alberto.

From The Importer

It's idiosyncratic Rosato with lots of fruit and a touch of wildness. It's bloody delicious.

Critic Reviews
This is mostly freisa but some grignolino in the mix. It’s a rosato, hooray! Kirsch and sour cherry scents, cinnamon/clove spice, undergrowth whiffs. It’s a ripping stink in the glass. Succulent, fine boned, juicy but with a web of fine tannin slinking along and tightening things quietly. Complex rose, utterly delicious, heaps of detail and a general sense of wow, drinkability and finesse. A real beauty." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)
- RMRoss M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoBest Rose I’ve ever had the pleasure to drink
I’ll preface this review by saying that I’m rarely a willing Rose drinker. However this has everything that Roses usually lack, interesting aromas, structure and a vibrant colour. Nebbiolo based, they have managed to retain the structure in this wine. The aromas are just gorgeous and there’s even some stink there for the burgundy drinkers.
Highly recommend. Will buy more

Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
