2021 San Fereolo 'La Lupa' Langhe Rosato Piedmont, Italy Islay 2008 Hugel & Fils RieslingLa Lupa is a seriously made rose which eschews the dominant "light at all costs" paradigm and possesses the vinosity and depth of real wine. Produced from a saignee of Dolcetto (with a small amount of Gewurztraminer), it pours a deep, glowing, orange y pink; the nose is spice drenched and soaring, but with plump fruit lurking; and the palate shows a touch of structure with ample richness and a current of energy that pulses through all her wines.
