About the Wine
The Freeman Rosso Corvina Rondinella, like their Pinot Grigio, is inspired by the wines of Northern Italy. The Rosso is a wine made purely for enjoying, rather than philosophising. With ripe fruit flavours of red berries and a savouriness giving it some complexity, it's a wine that is incredibly easy to drink. Like the Italians, open it with some pasta or a pizza so you can enjoy "la dolce vita".
Corvina and Rondinella are two of the main constituents of Valpolicella wines in Northern Italy, so it's great to see them being embraced by Australian winemakers who can see their potential. The Rosso is inspired by the table wines of Italy and delivers exactly what it promises.

Critic Reviews
"Medium-light red with the faintest tint of purple; the bouquet is low-key and seems a bit forward developed, with some licorice/anise and herbiness, and a trace of fresh raspberry fruit. A seasoning of nutty oak. Good intensity of medium bodied flavour, with a measured tannin grip. This has flavour and character. Good drinking and very smart value." - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

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.
