  Retail $20. Heavy Bottle (653g; 1lb 7oz). 100% Montepulciano. Under cork. One of the few appellations in Italy dedicated only to the production of rosé, Cerasuolo is fairly rare in the U.S. as most of the wine is sold and consumed in Italy. And that is a shame, at least for Americans, as every Cerasuolo I have tried has been delicious, including this fantastic wine. One could make the argument, based solely on color, that the wines from the region are more of a "light red" than a "rosé" but throw a bit of a chill on the bottle and there is no more confusion. Bursting with rich and lively cherry and strawberry fruit and balanced with a lip-smacking tartness, this is a wonderful choice for the pool, for a bowl of carbonara, for a late-night movie with fresh popcorn, and everything in between. Lovely.
