2022 Terrevive “Saint Vincent” Rosato Frizzante, Emilia-Romagna, Italy

Named after the patron saint of wine, the eye-poppingly vivid San Vincent is made entirely from the local Sorbara, which may in fact be related to Pinot Meunier, according to Gianluca. This bottling combines the breezy scrumptiousness of No Autoclave with some of the penetrating intensity of PerFranco, offering well-delineated, lifted notes of cassis, raspberry, licorice, and plenty of the wild herbs which seem to pop up in all of Gianlucas wines. San Vincent delivers a strong and satisfying retronasal impression on the palate, and its combination of saline minerality and scythe-like acidity prompts involuntary salivation.
