Our Tasting Note: Medium pink, slight copper hues. The nose jumps from the glass with restrained intensity, med+ with salted watermelon, fresh berries, a touch of saline, ginger and sweet florals. The palate is medium bodied with juicy med/med+ acidity.  The pronounced palate is as fun as it is tasty, very persistent with a long and juicy finish.

This Negroamaro/Primitivo blend is finer and lighter than you’d expect from a pink wine made from two of Puglia’s irrepressible red varieties. The fresh style of Mezzarosa is welcome in Manduria’s warm climate, and in ours. 

Morella is an organic and biodynamic winery that lies in Manduria, Italy just outside of Puglia and close to the sea. The warm weather and sea breezes paired with red, sandy clay soils mixed with limestone and quartz give the grapes a fresh, crisp body. This rose is 70% Negroamaro and 30% Primitivo and grown on old vines with a low yield of only 4,000 bottles. With tasting notes of rosehip and hibiscus, this wine can be paired with fried rockfish or shrimp puttanesca.
