Pour this one cold and it just goes down easy. Bright rose-pink in the glass, a big hit of raspberry and blackcurrant on the nose, then soft and smooth across the tongue with zero of that sweet-sticky thing some pink wines pull. It's dry, it's friendly, and it doesn't ask you to think too hard. Grilling something on the balcony, catching up with mates, or just need a glass that won't argue with you? This is your easy yes. We'll have it at your door fast, any hour.
Lead with the fruit: raspberry and blackcurrant jump out the second you swirl, with a little plum sitting underneath. The first sip is soft and round, gentle on the acidity, no harsh edges. Because it's a dry rosé the fruit reads as flavour, not sugar, so it finishes clean and smooth instead of cloying. Light enough to keep sipping, fruity enough to actually notice. Easy company in a glass.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Canti is the global face of Fratelli Martini, one of Italy's big family-run wineries that's been at it since 1947 out of the Piedmont hills, bottling this one in Cossano Belbo. They're known for making proper Italian wine that doesn't cost the earth, and this Merlot rosé is exactly that: predominantly Merlot grapes turned into something pink, dry and genuinely easy to drink. No fuss, no snobbery, just a solid Italian pour.
