  This one is for our fellows in a specific wine place in Roma. Opened it on a Friday night for a reference point. It aged well, and it is one that stands well for a great cocktail hour or reception. Very large noise, and a classic gavi after taste. You can tell by the nose alone that it is the rose, and it matches well (and match better than the gavi de gavi white) to the salmon and appetizers. Medium finish. I recommend treating it like a rose in a white wine glass and not a flute, and enjoy the secondary tastes as they evolve over dinner. Extra special- add some basil sauce and cheese selection.
  
  Compared with the '07 that I had before it has a longer finish, and I would say the floral on the nose especially the berries hold longer. It also IMHO integrates better with the classic antipasti offerings.
  
  To sum: Recommended plus. Forze Italia, forze sicilia. (91+, we shall meet again post covid)
