Description

Lamoresca’s Rosato is one of our most popular and sought-after international rosés every year - and for good reason. It’s pure Sicilian charm bottled by Filippo and Nancy Rizzo, who farm their rustic 550-metre-high vineyard organically in the island’s heartland.

The 2024 release marks a return to the lighter, friskier style that first made this wine such a hit, following last year’s darker, more structured version. It’s still unmistakably Lamoresca - wild, textural, and full of personality - but this vintage has a brighter, more energetic feel.

Built mostly from Nero d’Avola and Frappato, with a tiny splash of Moscato for lift, it bursts with red berries, blood orange and a hint of Mediterranean herbs. The finish is savoury and saline, that leaves you instantly reaching for another glass.

This isn’t your average pink. It’s one of those rare rosés that manages to be both fun and serious, full of life and impossible not to love.

    Rosato at its best

    took this along to a dinner party to match a mediterranean platter & it received very favorable comment of bright, energetic & delicious. Its lightish yet has great depth of flavor, perfect on a warm summers evening. In my opinion it is how rose should be made.

Notes from the winemaker
“Our Rosato is a mix of traditional grapes that capture the Sicilian style of Rosato. It's refreshing and full of Mediterranean flavors. The blend of Frappato and Nero d'Avola brings in the playfulness and structure, and a bit of Moscato adds a subtle flowery touch. Perfect for relaxed moments, as an aperitif or combined with seafood.”

Lamoresca

Lamoresca was built from the ground up by the hands of Filippo and Nancy Rizzo.

The two had a passion for natural wines and growing things organically. After years of spreading the good word of natural wine in retail and hospitality in Belgium, the two moved to Sicily and bought a farm populated with 46 ancient olive trees.

Now their farm, located 50km from the nearest vineyard, produces some of the most compelling, vibrant, and thirst-slaking wines in Sicily.

Their reds are bright, and crunchy and have a real sense of life to them, the white is saline and exotic. These are wines of rare character and great energy. Pure, natural, and fundamentally delicious to the last drop.
