What Are We Drinking Now? La Bambina Rosato from Menfi, Sicily

Barbara is loving this rosé from Menfi, Sicily.

This is summer wine! Almost an orange tint; subtle strawberry and peaches; a great food wine. Thank you, Marilena!

La Bambina, from winemaker Marilena Barbera, is a pleasant expression of the Nero d’Avola grape (ever heard of that one?), which is harvested at night to preserve the freshest aromas and to give birth to a very exciting wine that reflects the personality of Menfi’s terroir.

How do you gazpacho? I’m gazpachoing with fried Serrano ham, shrimp, avocado, and olive oil. And, of course, a glass or three of La Bambina.
