Xavier is a master tinkerer, using his chemistry background to consistently experiment with everything from rootestock to mineral water to the plant’s salt intake during harvest. And as consulting oenologist to the stars of the region, he knows every single vineyard like the back of his hand.
I’ve compared winemaker Xavier Vignon to a magician before in the past, and I’ll do so again. He continues to come up with new and exciting wines that are unlike anything he’s done before. His latest trick, is a Rose cut off clay and gravelly soils located near Chateauneuf du Pape, towards Lirac. It’s got a great pale salmon color and a bouquet of flowers, raspberries, strawberries with a hint of spice. A perfect compliment to summer cuisine with a vibrancy and length to it that people will love.

The Rosa di Ceparano 2022 is a racy blend made up of 60% Sangiovese and 40% Syrah vinified separately but both in stainless steal. Vinifying separately gives this wine a lot of flair with contrasting personalities that leads to inviting notes of fresh flowers, cherries, white peach and wild strawberries. On the palate, the wine is a little bit savory, with a solid core of red berry flavors with hints of citrus and even a little shot of spice and nutmeg that flashes. It’s a vibrant Rose that should pair quite nicely with food.
Fresh off a huge feature in The Wall Street Journal in which they were crowned as the top Prosecco Rose in a lineup of 14, I suspect what was once our little secret will explode. James Suckling also finally got around to tasting it and gave it 91 points. I’d rate it even higher. The 2021 Bisol Jeio Brut Prosecco Rosé is remarkable, and simply put, mouth-wateringly delicious. Inviting aromas of flowers and wild strawberries, with a complex mouthfeel that sings with citrus fruits and creaminess from the tiny crisp bubbles.

You aren’t going to do better finding a racy, mouthwateringly spicy, zipped-up bottle of Rose than this Italian gem. You’re certainly not going to find one as highly rated or highly recommended by two very-well respected wine critics. And, of course, you won’t find an uglier label out there either.
An outrageously good wine for the price, this is an intricate and racy blend of 30% Cab Franc, 30% Merlot, 15% Vermentino, 5% Colombard, 5% Petit Verdot, 5% Arinarnoa, 5% Carmenere, 3% Tannat and 2% Syrah. All this to say, that this is a Rose blend made with a lot of thought and a formula that has been tinkered dozens of times over the years. It’s as crisp and and vibrant as you’d want – with tropical and stone fruit flavors up front, a dash of wild strawberry, some floral elements and juicy nectarine. It’s steely, and minerally with great acid. This is a food friendly treat or a pink wine that could shine on its own.
