2024 Fattoria Corzano e Paterno Il Corzanello Rosato IGT Toscana
The Corzano e Paterno ‘Il Corzanello’ Rosato is a delicate, dry rosé with notes of strawberry and cherry, fresh acidity and lively minerality. This charming Tuscan wine hails from a historic estate just outside Florence, where Swiss architect Wendel Gelpke first fell in love with the hillside, and where Aljoscha Goldschmidt & her family now lead with a farmer’s touch. Bottled the spring after harvest, it’s consistently elegant and vibrant—perfect for aperitivo hour, antipasti, and grilled vegetables.

The vineyards of the Fattoria Corzano e Paterno lie on the steep and stony slopes surrounding the fortified farmhouse “Corzano” in San Casciano Val di Pesa. Roughly seventeen km south of Florence, the property runs along the ancient Via Cassia and the River “Pesa” which separates our land from the “Classico” region of Chianti. Corzano sits like a natural stone outcrop, a serrated edge along the hilltop horizon. The building was constructed centuries ago from fieldstones as a watchtower overlooking the valley leading from Florence to Siena. It grows up out of medieval foundations, possibly even Etruscan, as nearby tombs testifies to their presence in the area. In 1969 the property changed hands for the first time in seven hundred years. Six hectares of the farm’s one hundred and fourty were planted with vines in the very best positions around Corzano. At the altitude of three hundred meters they form a natural amphitheatre facing south-southwest in soil gravely in structure and rich in clay and lime.

$31.00Let’s face it, we all love CDP (Chateauneuf-du-Pape), but most of us can’t afford to pull those corks on a daily basis. That is where ‘Vacqueyras’ comes in. It’s swimming in the next lane, with eerily similar characteristics, at a lower price. This is one of my party trick wines (looks pricey and tastes pricier).
Sustainable farming practices, woman-winemaker.

$26.00Bandol rosé is in a class of its own. It is said to be the most food-friendly rosé in the world which is why it is praised by chefs like Alice Waters. It is beautifully light in color but has depth and structure from the Mourvèdre.
Pair this with actual food (think: grilled lamb, bouillabaisse, Niçoise salad, Provençal vegetables) and not just snacks by the pool. It will not disappoint!
