2020 Santa Vita Carménère Rosé

Explore a unique take on a beloved wine style in 2020 Santa Vita Carménère Rosé. While Chile is known for producing world-class reds, the country's star grape gets the Rosé treatment in this lovely wine. Bright in the glass, this Carménère Rosé expresses a vivid cherry pink color. Dry and medium-bodied, it is brimming with a bouquet of flowers and tart red fruits. Crisp citrus notes are evident on the palate, leading to a long finish that’s wonderfully refreshing. With a balance between acidity and tannins, this Rosé is fresh, approachable, and a great crowd-pleasing choice. Carménère is a dark-skinned grape originally born in Bordeaux, France. In the late 19th century, Carménère made its way to Chile, as its vines were mistaken for Merlot. Today, Chile is responsible for producing most of the world’s Carménère. This wine is from the Central Valley region, where a sunny, Mediterranean climate and stony soils create ideal conditions for nurturing grapes. This Carménère Rosé is produced by Cremaschi Furlotti, an award-winning family winery. For more than 130 years, the Cremaschi Furlotti family has blended its Italian heritage with state-of-the-art technology and an extensive knowledge of terroir to craft distinctive wines. One of the first wineries to be accredited with the Wines of Chile Sustainable Certification, Cremaschi Furlotti is also committed to eco-friendly practices and protecting the environment. Best served lightly chilled, at around 60 °F, 2020 Santa Vita Carménère Rosé makes a refreshing aperitif. It also pairs well with charcuterie, vibrant salads, grilled shrimp, and chicken and veggie skewers.
