Montenidoli, Canaiuolo Rosato, 2025

Montenidoli is a high-elevation Tuscan estate in San Gimignano, beloved at Flatiron for wines that punch well above their reputation. Their rosato is something of an icon, the wine some of us reach for first when warm weather hits. This one is made from Canaiolo, a native red grape better known as a blending partner in Chianti, here given a starring role. The altitude keeps everything fresh and lifted. It's a serious-but-joyful pink with more depth than your average rose. Serve well chilled and don't overthink it.
